CJ, > The controls are minimal and a commercial plant is designed to be operated by not particularly well trained technicians. I suppose said "nuclear power plant for dummies" will be self-maintaining? > Well, you yourself have talked about how their rail system can't reliably transport the stuff. Coal takes a large and functioning infrastructure. Which isn't something NK is known for. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If we want to help support the failed regime, we could do a whole lot better by helping them build their rail infrastructure and using their own coal. This can also help jump-start their economy and get them on the same road to modernization as China. The China model is also fitting because South Korea is now heavily investing in China. If North Korea can follow along, they can attract South Korean investment dollars and speed reunification efforts. Understanding this doesn't require a whole lot of intelligence. It takes a lot more effort to defend a failed LWR deal than it does to prop up a solution that works. (Of course, it also takes absolutely no effort to point out the flaws in the Bush way of doing things, but that's nothing new. Just search Google for "bush north korea.") Tenchusatsu
