Consider that the International Atomic Energy Agency controls quantities of 8 kg of [sup.239]Pu and 25 kg for [sup.235]U and that these quantities probably relate to masses needed for crude "bombs" Further, in some processing plants, a mass of about one-half a kilogram is used as a guideline for the minimum quantity of [sup.239]Pu or [sup.235]U, which can, given optimum conditions,
go critical. I think the article could mislead people on what quantities need protection.
