: Hi! Jim Yanik writes: 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. -- Jim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net |
