Iran Opens Its First Nuclear Power Plant

pickens writes "VOA reports that Russian and Iranian engineers have begun loading fuel into Iran's first nuclear power plant located in the southern city of Bushehr amid international fears that Iran will use the facility to make nuclear weapons, a charge both Tehran and the Kremlin vehemently deny. Officials say it will take about two to three months for the plant to start producing electricity once all of the fuel rods have been moved into the reactor. The production capacity of the plant will initially be 500 megawatts, but will eventually increase to 1,000 megawatts. Earlier this year, Washington criticized Russia for going ahead with the planned opening of the plant amid global disagreement and concern over Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program. Moscow did, however, back a fourth round of sanctions against Tehran, which called for Iran to stop uranium enrichment."

You mean like the way Israel was created on the blood of the Palestinians who had lived there for how long? Israel's friends came in and blew the Palestinians to shit and now Israel keep them literally fenced in, kept down. Israel's equivalent to Hamas would be it's own armed forces, the amount of innocent Palestinians killed by them would far outweigh any damage from Hamas/Hezbollah. Maybe read a book other than "America Fuck Yeah!"

I will get moded down for this, but I don't care.

You are absolutely right. Sadly, Iran is not crazy at all, and it won't happened.

But if they did go batshit insane and drop a few nukes on Israel, I would be a very happy guy.

Anyway, getting back to this thread:

The only country in the world that has ever used a nuclear weapon (outside of nuclear tests/practices) is the united states. And it's the world's biggest holder of nuclear power. Why is it a problem that Iran gets a nuclear weapon, when we know the US has thousands, and they are not being audited at all?
