Israel: Iran Nuke Plant 'Totally Unacceptable'
 

Israel criticizes the fueling of Iran's first nuclear power plant and calls for greater pressure to force Tehran to cease uranium enrichment.

The power of the atom is not restricted to one nation or another. If Iran wants to use nuclear energy power plants, who are we to say otherwise?

Now, should spend uranium rods be weaponized, Iran's nuclear program should be wiped off the face of the Earth...

Absolutely true!
 

Power plants are one thing, and nuke a completely different, and in the wrong hands In addition.

The Sun rises and sets...

Haha, I saw a news item on Slate.com and without my glasses, this:

Iran Starts Fueling Nuclear Reactor

at first glance it looked a lot like the e in "Fueling" was a c, and the l was a k...
Iran Starts Fu**ing Nuclear Reactor

and I thought for a moment, hey, the media finally got it right :haha:

A nuclear power plant for power and one for making a bomb are too different things. The Bushehr plant is a low grade reactor, and besides the Russians are providing and removing the fuel.

The thing has been on the go for 30 odd year. I think Israel is just thumping its drum on this.

Now I'm not saying Iran doesn't want nukes and that it isn't trying to make them but Bushehr has nothing to do with this.

Well commented. :up:

But doesn't Iran have 2 nuclear enrichment facilities ? So they do have the possible capability to enrich Uranium to weapons grade.

So?

Last time I checked, the world still does not revolve around what Israel likes or dislikes. :nope:

actually i've heard about 10.

There is also an enrichment facility near the Iranian city of Qum, at a place called Fordo.

Here is a more extensive map


Want to weaponize it? Just put it in a GP Bomb with a air burst fuse.

Possibly this particular reactor is low-grade......
 

but there is always the possibility of using ancillary material to a great variety of weapons...

:haha::haha: :cool:

My point was that the Bushehr reactor isn't capable of enriching or producing enriched uranium or plutonium, so I don't get the big deal of it going nuclear.

I really don't see Israel or anyone else for that matter doing anything militarily until there is overpowering evidence to show that the enrichment process has started.

Even then a lot will depend on how major players such as Russia and China are feeling at the time.

Nobody is going to risk a possible escalation to a nuclear exchange over Iran.

Now if the major players can agree on a way forward, acceptable to them all.....all options would be on the table.
