12. Civilian nuclear power is the easiest way for a country to obtain material for a nuclear weapon
Edited on Mon Jan-10-11 04:55 PM by kristopher
And Iran's example is a case study of why.

1) Build a nuclear power plant for "energy security".
2) Claim that your energy security is achieved only by not being subject to the whims of the current open market for uranium enriched for fuel.
3) Build your own enrichment facility to make enriched fuel for your reactor (whether your reactor is online yet or not is irrelevant).
4) Enrich the fuel to weapons grade at your leisure.

So how is it that two of the biggest pickers of renewable knits on this forum are unaware of this basic and often repeated bit of information?

Either you are fundamentally unaware of the nature of the nuclear power sources you consistently advocate for or you are deliberately engaging in an exchange designed to misinform; which is it?

Either way, your remarks here indicate your posts should be taken with an industrial size grain of salt.
