I just wanted to say that at a volume of an Olympic swimming pool of 2500 m³, and a density of plutonium of 19.85 g/cm³, a pool can contain about ridiculous 50,000 tons of plutonium

Theres always someone who does the math for me and I appreciate you.
I was thinking “90,000 tons is a LOT, But swiming pools are also a massive volume and nuclear material is very dense… hmmmm”
