Arms Control Wonk Says: Enriched Uranium in Iran no biggie
Seems weird to use the actual tubes though, instead of symbolic tubes, but what do I know...
Not as much as the bloggers at
arms control wonk.
I can only take the full-scale-wonk posts in small doses due to my low wonk-reading-comprehision-IQ. They are smarter than yer average blogger.
Like fer instance:
Iran probably made the announcement to celebrate the very first grams of LEU. Even if the cascade has been operating for a month, assuming 2 SWU per centrifuge per year, Iran can’t have produced more than a few (say half a dozen) kilograms of uranium enriched to 3.5 percent.
Hence the dancing guys with tiny lightsabers of LEU.
There's plenty more where that came from, including why "We're Not Going to Nuke Iran."
