Posted by Olog-hai on Sat Jul 5 15:36:17 2008, in response to Uranium stockpile from Iraq removed , posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sat Jul 5 14:54:58 2008. a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium . . . 550 metric tons (1,212,542.44 pounds!) of the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichmentNo. Impossible. Didn't exist, right?It also brought relief to US and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitionsHow can a nonexistent cache of uranium reach anyone, eh? |

Ask non-shia or non alawite Lebanese what they think of Obama.And ask the gulf states about Iran's little peace bomb. Sarcasm directed at 40% of the US, and 90% of europe. |

One problem.If you learn current French, a francophone in Montreal won't understand you. The language in Quebec never evolved, while French in France did. The language in Quebec is stuck in the 17th Century. Language is not rock solid, it constantly changes, words go out of fashion, change their meaning. English "steals" words out of other languages and uses them, unchanged. If you got ahold of a time machine and went back to 1776, people would have a problem understanding you. |

That's one of the things I actually ENJOY about Quebec! When I got sent down to Silver Spring when my mom died at age 13, went to White Oak Jr. High and THAT is the French we actually learned ... sorta like all that whitebread which learned Castillian Spanish instead of Puerto Rican/Mexican/Cubano. Heh. All I learned though in Maryland is actually USEFUL in Quebec! And NON to "le hamburger!" Heh. |

The yellowcrap's not really useful for anything as it is now so what Cameco's going to do is a bit of work to turn it into mixed oxide fuel pellets for Ontario Hydro for electricity generation.Ontario Hydro's been running mixed oxide fuel pellets through the nuclear plants to generate electricity since the mid 1990s to dispose of scrap Russian nuclear material, so this isn't unprecedented but it doesn't go on elsewhere because Hydro's nuclear reactors were designed with fuel flexibility in mind as part of the design specifications. I'm not opposed to cheap electricity. -Robert King |

Maybe if you're IRAN and can cook it for a few years ... dirty bombs, perhaps but the yellowcake was pretty much not much better than slag as it was. That's why Canada can do something with it since their tea kettles don't need as much heat as others do ... |

Maybe if you're IRAN and can cook it for a few years ... dirty bombs, perhaps but the yellowcake was pretty much not much better than slag as it wasUm, that's not the whole picture. Yellowcake is one step along the path to synthesizing plutonium. (You don't need U-235 to make Pu-239. U-238 is just fine.) |
