This really isn't new, actually. There are a lot of out-of-work Russian and
Ukrainian scientists around (I've met some of them even here in Edmonton at
high-tech firms I've visited). And of course, our CANDU (and now the more compact
Maple reactor being sold by a former division of AECL, and a sister company to the
medical products division, where I lived -- see
http://biz.yahoo.com/cnw/021029/maple_1_reactor_1.html for the Maple, and
http://www.ncf.carleton.ca/~cz725/cnf_sectionA.htm#c for CANDU. A Three-Mile
Island or Chernobyl-type accident is virtually impossible with either reactor.
What we won't sell are the research reactors such as are installed in Chalk River
ON (near where the uranium for the 2 US bombs dropped on Japan was mined), and
Whiteshell MN (NE of Winnipeg). Both of these reactors have very high neutron flux
-- enough to give a 1.5 cm Cobalt-60 source an energy level approaching smaller
linear accelerators.

 There were some misleading news reports on this, I think.  In the

 increase John's anxiety.  :-)

It is a worldwide conspiracy, of which I must now confess, both the Babes
are a part of.

They are just moving the old stuff from Chernobyl to Iran.

There were some misleading news reports on this, I think.  In the 
headlines last Friday.  Those rotten news guys, they're always trying to 
increase John's anxiety.  :-)

Some of the headlines seemed to be asserting that evidence was found 
indicating that Iran is developing nuclear weapons.  More detailed 
reports indicated that the satellite surveillance photos from last 
September actually found evidence of the construction of unreported 
nuclear power facilities, some of which _might_ be used in the 
production of weapons material, which Iran currently does not have 
access to.  Much of this has been subsequently clarified by the 
Russians, who are apparently providing the technological support for 
construction of the Iranian facilities.

Several of the news reports I read asserted with some authority that 
Iran definitely does _not_ currently have nuclear weapons production 
capability.

I was interested to learn that the Russians are now selling nuclear 
technological knowhow.  What a refreshing change for the world to buy 
their nuclear plants from the Russians, instead of from the Canadians, 
or the PRC.  Perhaps the Russian bid was cheaper.  ;-

Glad to know I'm allowed to be anxious.  I thought Jesus might condemn me 
in this.
