I can imagine what's going to happen. A startup does not have enough history to be properly vetted. I can imagine the startup turns a profit by selling some Plutonium to the highest bidder. The highest bidder goes ahead and builds a sphere out of explosive tiles made of C4 around the Plutonium and designs a detonator based on a simple micro controller that will implode the sphere creating a massive explosion. Refining Plutonium is the most difficult part of building a nuclear weapon and the fuel should stay where it is. Heavily guarded. The nuclear fuel of the future is Thorium Salt, not Plutonium. A molten salt nuclear reactor runs at atmospheric pressure and is much safer.
