Can nuclear weapons be recycled into nuclear energy?
The nuclear fuel in the weapons can be used, especially the U-235 content. In fact I believe this is being done in the US with weapons being deactivated. The U-235 will have been enriched to a high level for weapons so the process involves mixing it with depleted U (mostly U-238) to get the required 5 percent or so for reactor fuel. Plutonium can also be used when extracted from weapons, but this requires another plant for producing fuel with a mixture of U and Pu, so called MOX fuel. I don't think there is a plant in the US to do this at present, but it will no doubt come, with excess Pu available it is the best thing to do with it.
