IAEA Forms Nuclear Fuel Bank

Kemeno writes "The International Atomic Energy Agency voted on Friday to form a nuclear fuel bank to help developing countries acquire nuclear fuel without having to enrich uranium themselves. Warren Buffet contributed 50 million dollars to a pool of 150 million with contributions from many different countries. The goal of the program is to provide countries with a source of low-grade enriched uranium suitable for fueling reactors but not for creating nuclear weapons."

    Not when Iran has openly said that they'd use nuclear weapons to start a war (they launch a nuke, the US, China, Russia, etc launch nukes to retaliate, etc). Freedom comes with responsibility. Iran has admitted to being irresponsible. You don't have the freedom to kill others for shits and giggles.
