There are about 4.5 billion tons of radioactive uranium dissolved in our planet’s oceans. Included is enough fissionable uranium 235 to build over 6.5 billion nuclear weapons.

For good reason, the Department of Defense takes nuclear proliferation very seriously and keeps close track of all nuclear materials that can be used to build bombs.

Most of this effort is directed at materials that have been processed and ready to go, but they also watch ores that can be processed.

Obviously, the Department of Defense understands the potential for sea salt to be processed into weapons grade uranium, and rumor has it they have teams trained to raid homes of people who seemed to have gone overboard with their sea salt purchases.

If you think you are at risk of a Department of Defense raid, it would be a good idea to hide all your uranium processing and bomb-making hardware.

Oh yeah, you’ll also want to slow down on those sea salt sprinkles.
