Iran Said to Have Enough Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon

Iran Said to Have Enough Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon

www.nytimes.com

Iran has now produced roughly enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors.

I wonder how the Obama administration, and also the world, is going to react once Iran becomes a fully nuclear nation. I don't see any good coming out of this. Iran had made 630 kilograms, or about 1,390 pounds, of low-enriched uranium. Experts suggest this is enough material to make a nuclear bomb.

With further purification.

Remember, it takes at least 95% purification to make an actual atomic bomb... otherwise, it's just a dirty bomb. Iran has achieved no more than 15% I believe was the latest figures...

not to mention... one?


They are hardly a threat.

What are they going to do... bomb a small town and get annihilated in return?
I think not.

Plus the fact that they aren't enriching far enough to make a nuclear weapon is a pretty clear indication that the nuclear fuel is intended for a power plant.

If this is the case then why the hell is everyone talking about America invading Iran?

They have enough to scrape together a single bomb? Petty.

Some one has beat you to the punch www.abovetopsecret.com...

One atomic bomb is 'petty'....tell that to the people in Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Or to the people in Israel who will most likely be the target of the 'petty' bomb built by Iran.

I snorted at that one...

Built?
As in past tense?

No, they've only enriched the uranium enough to use it as fuel for a power plant... I think they've achieved 15%... it takes 95% to make an atomic bomb.

So no, they won't be hitting anyone, unless they plan on dropping a power plant on them. lol.


And yes, someone already started this thread, here... time to move there. Clicky clicky!
