IRANIAN NUCLEAR

Let me say that I am hopeful that I’m going to educate you about Iran’s bullshit about its nuclear power program. First let me enlighten you and me about uranium enrichment. I should have known but believed that U-235 had to be enriched with U-238 to ten to twenty percent for a nuclear reactor, it appears that 3-5% is sufficient. I’ve seen articles supporting my original opinion and I apologize because I should know. I have been at the facilities where the enrichment occurs. But my point is that regardless of how much enrichment is required for Iran’s supposed nuclear energy program, it’s not 60% or higher. It takes 90%+ to reach weapons grade. There’s zero reason for Iran to be enriching uranium to the levels they are except for a nuclear weapon.

And I want to point out another thing that no one seems to be discussing. Iran has at this point one nuclear power plant that may not be operational. They have more than enough nuclear material to power many nuclear power plants and they aren’t doing it. Also any nuclear power plants they have or plan need to be on the Persian Gulf because they are a desert and I don’t believe that they have the required cooling water anywhere else. And the vast majority of the country is a long way from the Persian Gulf.

So what’s my point? First Iran is enriching uranium way beyond what’s needed for nuclear power, and so Trump must not allow them to have any enrichment capability in an agreement. They can’t be trusted because they have never complied with any deal that they made. And second they have already proven that they are not interested in a nuclear power program because they are enriching uranium way beyond the level necessary for a nuclear power plant.

BTW the reason you keep hearing about centrifuges is because U-238 is by atomic number heavier than U-235 and so would separate from the lighter isotope.
