Righty tighty. Think this is my third GA review, and I've just nominated an FAC, so here we go. Parcly  Taxel  04:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Need sources for these two sentences, both in Weapons:
 * "As of 2009, the world production of neptunium-237 by commercial power reactors was over 1000 critical masses a year, but to extract the isotope from irradiated fuel elements would be a major industrial undertaking."

 * "The United States Federal government made plans in March 2004 to move America's supply of separated neptunium to a nuclear-waste disposal site in Nevada."

 * Lead needs to make mention of neptunium's toxicology.

 * "Only a month later, the almost totally unexpected discovery of nuclear fission by Hahn, Meitner, and Otto Frisch seemed to put an end to the possibility that Fermi had discovered element 93 because most of the unknown half-lives that had been observed by Fermi's team were rapidly identified as fission products."
