Could this provide a possible explanation for why Iran may actually be

A 50 MW heavy water reactor??
Surely you jest.
No jest, it was a serious question. I'm just too ignorant of the ins
and outs of nuclear power to have realized it was apparently a dumb
question, too.
The BBC showed some footage of the nuclear facilities. What interested
me the most, is the line that was producing heavy water. A heavy water
reactor is a plutonium 239 generator, which is how the Canadians and
Indians built their first bombs. Given the World's situation, I don't
think that anyone is going to stop the Iranian either.
