The UK's stockpile of plutonium from nuclear power stations has risen to 108 tonnes, according to the British government's latest submission to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria. The stockpile at the end of 2007 exceeded the previous year's total by 1.1 tonnes, and is enough for 13,500 nuclear bombs. Most is stored at Sellafield in Cumbria.
