100 megawatt. err.. where do you source the uranium or plutonium?
err.....
AFAIK, you buy it from the US gov. in the USA. For other countries you may have to trade to obtain some as not every country produces their own.
In other words, you either have to be on a list or get yourself onto a list. One of those kinds of list isn't the kind you want to be on. And the uranium and plutonium is on a different kind of list altogether, but that's the reason for those other lists. :-)
Meanwhile, some related reading just came up:

I guess we're all on someone's recommended reading list.
