weapons program, and the nuclear fuel cycle still produces the elements —
uranium and plutonium — which can be used to make nuclear weapons or
radioactive “dirty bombs”. The nuclear industry argues
that any nation or terrorist does not need a nuclear power plant to make a
bomb, they just need uranium enrichment. This is
true. <strong><i>However,</i></strong> <strong><i>the only
“legitimate” reason to enrich uranium is to use it in a nuclear
power plant. </i></strong>The continued promotion and sale worldwide of
“civilian” nuclear reactors thus gives nations the excuse to
operate uranium enrichment programs, as we have seen in Iran. - <em>Craig
