Pluto is the Greek god of the underworld, or Hades; it is also the root of the word plutonium. Plutonium: a chemical element that occurs in trace amounts in nature, but is manufactured in nuclear reactors and is used as fuel therein as well as an explosive in nuclear fission weapons. Hence the derivation of the title, The God of Hell.
For two decades, the Pentagon and Congress have been increasingly concerned that the United States does not have a reliable capability to produce plutonium “pits,” the cores of US thermonuclear warheads.
The designs of new warheads in which new plutonium pits would be used may depart from designs that have been previously tested.
