Gus > "there are indications that hazardous waste, radioactive waste, chemical waste and other substances, (in containers) which have been dumped on the Somali coastline, were damaged by the tsunami." In the late 1980s, European firms dumped wastes such as uranium, lead, cadmium, mercury, industrial, hospital, chemical, leather treatment and other waste in northern Somalia, but the trend picked up rapidly after the violent ouster of strongman Mohammed Siad Barre in 1991, according to the United Nations.
And this rubbish is evidence of a major nuclear event off the coast of Sumatra?! Gus, what are you smoking?

>>Saeedi said in his speech that Iran was determined to pursue a complete nuclear programme to meet rising energy demand caused by an increase in living standards in the Islamic republic.
He said this programme would include "the provision of nuclear fuel" and the completion of a heavy-water research reactor that would be able to produce substantial amounts of bomb-grade plutonium.<<
I know you are an expert on nuclear matters so please tell me if this does not say that the Iranian reactor "would be able to produce substantial amounts of bomb-grade plutonium", because I read that it does? And I also understand that that is what the US of I's gripe is all about. So something doesn't make sense -- is Iran intending to enrich uranium or isn't it? |
