Iran had a contract with the state of Russia to have a nuclear power plan built in the 1990's, it has been delayed but reports show that Iran will have their first nuclear power plant running by March 21st 2010. Russia's state nuclear corporation's chief, Sergei Kiriyenko said, "There is absolutely no doubt that it will be built this year. Everything is going according to schedule." Russia is controlling the use of the uranium; so there won't be any extra for a weapons program.
Personally I think nuclear power plants are great for making energy and states have rights to have them but Iran needs to be watched so they do not use uranium for a weapons of developing anything other than energy for their state.

I am personally not a fan of nuclear power because of all the potential hazards of a catastrophe and the nuclear waste. I think there are plenty of other forms of clean energy that could be put into practice. (solar, wind, water, ect.) I do not understand why Iran needs nuclear power with all the oil they have anyway. Giving Iran nuclear power is a slightly scary concept considering the war and everything that has gone on in the past. I wonder what made them want to go nuclear.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it is regulated nuclear seems fine. I could America having a problem with Russia being the ones controlling the uranium though. I don't think some people that the Cold War is over.
