"Micro-doses of Plutonium are needed to treat metallicis of the spark chamber, and beta Uranium can be refined into a form of low grade that serves well in transfusions. Useful as these materials are, I would not want the key elements for a nuclear bomb inside an almost depleted energon mine."
Such a catastrophe did not bear thinking about; not when there were a hundred other, more easily executed ways that DMZ and everyone in it could be wiped out.
