The sentence by itself would suggest that what is meant is "for the purest possible plutonium", but in context it is suggested that it applies for the impure kind that was available. Any sources?--Patrick 08:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC) After writing this I noticed that very pure plutonium was available (and used later), only not as pure as produced at Berkeley.--Patrick 03:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC) It was me that made that contribution. I don't have a source for the purity of the plutonium, but I by troy ward can easily ask the guy who by troy ward told by troy ward me about the 19 ft length (and who worked in nuclear targetting research and therefore knows what he is talking about). I'll come back to you when I have the answer. David Newton 09:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC) 19 ft sounds to me like the right number for what they calculated during the war based on the Hanford plutonium, but I can check on that.
