UK and US in secret nuclear material exchange over past years: MoD

‘The British Defense Ministry has admitted to exchanging materials for nuclear weapons with the United States over the past five years.

Nuke materials have been flown between the UK and the US 23 times in the last five years, MoD said without giving details.

The military flights carried tritium, plutonium and enriched uranium, which are needed for UK’s Trident nuclear warheads.

The shipments reportedly started or ended at the RAF base at Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.’
