Why would Iran need or want nuclear reactors for power
generation,when they burn off (waste) much of the natural gas
produced by their oil wells? They could produce electric power much
easier,cheaper and cleanly with that overabundance of gas that they
have to burn up.With little waste products,too.

Do they still waste the gas? I have heard that it was done decades ago
and that Saudi Arabia now use most of the gas for electricity
production but I have no reliable source of statistics and no rumours
about Iran. Please share the data you have.

where's a gas pipeline to Saudi Arabia from Iran? Does it cross the Persian
Gulf??? It wouldn't go thru Iraq,that's for certain.
I suspect there is no such thing.

I am afraid it is only a matter of time before the gas wont be enough
when they get prosperous enough for wide spread air conditioning.

Air conditioning? LMAO.Iran is still building homes with mud brick.
They probably do not even have a power grid.

To make nuclear weapons,that's why.

I think they have a nuclear weapons program but all things nuclear are
not automatically a part of such a program.

When Sweden had a nuclear wepaons program in the 50:s and 60:s we
tried to have a dual use program using the same kind of reactors for
both electricity and plutonium manufacturing. It turned out to be
expensive, inefficient and the only full scale reactor had so bad
security margins that it never was started and that was roughly 40
years ago. At the same time the "Marviken" dual use nuclear powerplant
failed and the nuclear wepaons program were finally shut down due to
political reasons and assurance from NATO we built out first civilian
BWR reactor. It did share some things with the military program since
manny of the contractors were the same that had build "Marviken" and
had learnt some things on how NOT to do. Wonder what would have
happened if the Soviet union had declared us a threath and bombed our
BWR construction site to stop us from getting nuclear weapons?

Best regards,


Come on,get real.The difference between your country and Iran is VERY wide
with regards to threats to other countries.
You also don't have the natural energy resources that Iran does.
You have a stable government.Iran does not.
Iran supports and exports terrorism.

You misunderstand me, I have heard that Saudi arabia has stopped
wasting their gas and suspect that Iran has done likewise with their gas.

They do of course have a power grid but I do not know if it covers
their whole country. They are one of the most well educated and
industrialised nations in the region, they do for instance produce
small jet passanger aeroplanes. That makes it a very big thing for the
world community if they open up and get themselves a democrasy since
it is a fairly prosperous nation that will be good to trade and have
cultural exchange with. And its prosperity means a bigger disaster if
their theocracy keeps its grip on the power and get the people to
strongly support getting nuclear arms.

True, true, true and true but I can still understand that they will be
realy mad if someone attacs their civilian infrastructure. That is
something that changes foreign policy and probably not for the better.
They have to acknowledge its existance if a secret military plutonium
reactor is bombed and it will make less of an outrage then an attac on
a visible, valuble but for their nuclear weapons program probably
completely irrelevant target. An attack on the civilian powerplant
gives the iranian hard liners a local PR victory, it is about as
relevant as bombing a refinery and gives no moral high ground and it
could be enough for some western politicans to proclaim that the
problem is solved.
