Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Nuclear Bomb, and Iran

Nuclear Fuel Cycle is the process of enriching uranium-235 (U-235) in a natural uranium ore from (0.72 % to less than 5%), fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel cells, and storage and disposal of the spent nuclear fuels as high level radioactive wastes. Iran is learning to enrich U-235 to levels less than 5%. The Iranian fuel development process is under supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Nuclear bomb would require an enrichment of uranium ore to 90% or more of U-235. Few nations at this time have capability to enrich uranium to this high level. Iran is not one of the countries with ability to produce high level enrichment.

On September 7, 2007, ElBaradei argued against military action, saying: "We have not seen any weaponization of their program, nor have we received any information to that effect - no smoking gun or information from intelligence.

Federal Highways and the Federal Employees: the Republican Solution

The federal gasoline tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for gas and 22.4 cents per gallon for diesel. This tax does not include the other taxes by the states and local communities. This federal tax is not generating the $260 billion GOP needs for a proposed highway construction and transit program! The cars are more efficient and people are not buying more gas. The GOP has a solution. They want to get the money from the federal employees. How? They suggest the federal employees should contribute 1.5 percent more of their monthly income for their retirement. At present the retirement benefit is calculated based on the average salary of the last five years of the service. The GOP has proposed to base the retirement benefit for the new employees based on the average salary of the last three years of the service. These changes would reduce the federal contribution to the retired employees’ benefit by about $4 billion a year. The GOP proposal would take money from the retired federal empl

Do you hate all Iranians?

October 1, 2007 At a recent meeting between high ranking Defense Department officials and British Parliamentarians at the Pentagon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs Debra Cagan remarked, "In any case, I hate all Iranians." The incident was confirmed by three of the visiting MPs present at the meeting. Should the President of the United States allow this person to be a member of our United States government? The inaction of German citizens to stop genocide during the World War II contributed to the brutal death of millions of people. Do something about promoter of hate in the United States! We can't let this happen once more!

Saint Michael Traveler: My Perspectives Are We Expanding the Syrian Sectarian War into Proxy War with Russia? February 29, 2016 The Iran–Iraq War was an armed conflict between the Persians and many of the Sunni Arabs Nations. The war was assisted directly by the United States and some of the European countries, lasting from September 1980 to August 1988. It was the 20th century’s longest conventional war. The conflict resulted in death of over 500,000 Iranians and injuring millions. Why are we supporting the same countries that attacked Iran during 1980?  During the conflict, Syria steadfastly stood by Iranians during the conflict. Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf Kingdoms have not forgotten the intransigence of Syria government supporting the Iranian government.  Are we once more siding with the Sunni Arabs against Iranians? The New York Times, Anne Barnard and Karam Shoumalioct, 12, 2015, reported:  U.S. Weaponry Is Turning Syria into Proxy War with Russia? The A
