| #3 I think we're in agreement with Russia on this one. That is, by keeping an oligopoly on enrichment *and* reprocessing, we make it much, much harder for a rogue state to get enough high grade or plutonium to make a bomb. If they don't return the proper amount of spent fuel for reprocessing, everyone knows they are stockpiling. And because enrichment takes a hell of a lot of energy, we can cut off their enriched fuel supply to keep them from doing it. Russia has been playing "good cop" to our "bad cop" with Iran in this way. Don't forget that they are both being cops. However, the one problem arises with the gulf states that can use oil to produce enough energy to make their own enriched uranium. If we can find a way out of that problem, then it is a very viable plan. |
