| "It turns out to be nothing more than Iran re-processing the stuff that the United States gave to them in order for Iran to run their Research Reactor that the US also gave to them." - Pablo B. Not really so. The US in the mid-1960s had a surplus of 92% enriched Uranium and was still involved in the "Atoms for Peace" program of the Eisehnower administration. The solution to both problems was to export SMALL reactors using Weapons Grade Uranium. By the time the US fled Vietnam in the mid-1970s the folly of this program was obvious. After the US would no longer supply Weapons Grade Uranium, Iran had to engage Argentina to down grade and modify their research reactor to utilize a larger core of 20% (not usable in a weapon) enriched Uranium. "You STILL can`t build a Nuke Weapon out of the 20% enriched uranium fuel that Iran is enriching." - Pablo B First, you cannot make a weapon from 20% enriched Uranium. Second, Iran is NOT enriching Uranium to 20%, rather to 5% or less. |
