How Much Energy Is That?

The 500 metric tons of highly enriched uranium in 20,000 nuclear warheads contains a tremendous amount of energy.

To get a better idea of how much energy is involved, consider the following...

Potential Electricity Generated

The low enriched uranium downblended from 500 metric tons of HEU could produce enough electricity to power:

for 767 years

for 2 years

for 4 months

The energy from the uranium in 20,000 nuclear warheads is equivalent to:

2.9 billion tons

10.3 billion barrels

62.8 trillion cubic feet
