US supplied Iran with that reactor that required 93 % fuel... Argentinians converted into one able to use ~20% fuel
Originally posted by Chogy View PostSo to summarize for us non-nuclear scientists... ;)
4% U-235 is good for power plants
20% is used to make radioisotopes and for general research
Neither of the above can make a bomb
90% HEU and up can make a Little Boy bomb, yet the Iranian reactor cannot work with less than 90%? What's up with that? What kind of idiots would make a reactor that requires bomb-grade material?

This is news to me. Reactors that REQUIRE bomb-grade uranium are, dare we say it, really stupid and really dangerous on a number of levels. Maybe I'm naive, but what keeps one of these handy gadgets from going critical and melting down in seconds into glowing slag, or worse, blowing apart energetically? Tickling the dragon, anyone? This is like tickling Godzilla or the Romulan Empire.
Didn't anyone think of proliferation of a very dangerous (and also hard to obtain) material in those decades?

As you know mullahs are the masters of deception, for so many years they have majority of the world believing that Israel is a target while the # 1 target in IRI horizon is KSA. They have a 1350 years old ax to grind. In their ideology Shias are the only heir to Mohammad's rule and legal guardians of Mecca and present group is nothing but an occupier.
The Arabian peninsula oil fields and being on the north side of strategic Strait of Bab ol Mandib are bonuses.
