remember back when they were going to re-start plutonium production at INL (formerly INEL, INEEL)
Vice Admiral John Grossenbacher, Director of INL, talks to a local reporter about what the plutonium was going to be used for. Note: MOST of the Plutonium that would have been for national security missions - not space batteries. It seems what he's saying, between the lines is: Listen, places sometimes are remote, and our national security aparatus need access to electricity, and don't ask too many questions like: isn't near-earth-orbit a rather remote and desolate space that might happen energy in order for things to operate?
