what is your idea about nuclear energy in iran?

Firstly, I believe that Iran being the 3rd major oil producer in the world has more than 20-30+ years of oil production. My guess in around 100 years or so. And this issue of nuclear energy is just getting ridiculous. Its every country's right to improve and Iran just like us has this right to have nuclear energy. I think we should stop being a bully to all these countries, all these wars have cost us dollars that could go in our education and health is going into killing innocent people AND we are paying MORE on gas.

Leshad. When Israel and other countries are "de-nuked", the whole world would support the "de-nukification" of Iran and all other states.\n\nEqual Opprtunity World.\n\nI hate nuclear anything, wether it be weapons, or even nuclear energy (because of things like Chernoble and other world wide radiation leaks). But Nuclear research does come up with good scientific advances that Iran deserves as a Soveirgn Nation. (Micro Engineering stuff)

iran has a very long history, it is part of humankind history. at one time, they were the most powerful nation in the civilized world. they contributed much to science and art and have a very refined culture. \n\ni have known iranians, and i found them very intelligent and respectful\n\nthe problem now is that everyone is against them right now, which makes matters worse. they feel threatned and react angrily. how would you feel if everyone critizes you?\n\ni think iran should be integrated into the international community. they should open their doors and other countries should open their doors. iranians should see what is life outside iran, and other people should visit iran to see what it is like there.\n\nconcerning recent events, i think it is their legitimate rights to get nuclear technology. a lot of countries have also nuclear technology. it is not fair if you forbide them. it would make sense if france, usa, uk or russia stop using nuclear technology. but they continue using it and forbid everyone else to have it. what kind of attitude is that?\n\npeople worry that iran might produce nuclear bombs. but they are not the first one to get nuclear bombs. i think every country should ban nuclear bombs.

Read up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_uranium\n\nEven a 20% enriched uranium is sufficient to create a bomb.  That would be well within the capability of a nominal Iranian process.

We do not consider the proliferation of nuclear technology for WMD's progress.  When Iran is sitting on one of the largest known oil reserves on Earth the idea she would spend enormous resources to build nuclear power plants is not credible.  \n\nYour President's threats to destroy Israel don't reassure us that your intentions are peaceful. For me your comment that God only shines in Iran suggests your religion and/or culture is superior to mine.  Persons who believe their God only shines on them can use that to justify bad things.    \n\nProgress can take place in many areas that don't threaten the existence of life on our planet. Americans and the world would rejoice if an Iranian found a cure for cancer,  or even the common cold, and we would all hold you in our hearts forever. \n\nIt is not Iranian progress we are concerned about, it is survival

Neither, The regime in Iran simply needs to not be able to produce nukes.\n\nDestroy their enrichment facilities and leave it at that.\n\nWe don't need the country.\n\nWith luck, the Israeli's will resolve that for us.

AA my good friend, I think we may AGREE on this one. Iran's primary motivation is to construct nuclear weapons, nuclear power would be a secondary benefit and of course like any good sociopath, Iran is playing the "energy end up" while minimizing (to the outside world) the thought of developing nuclear weapons.

Why does Iran, one of the largest producers of oil in the world need nuclear energy?  They should stop trying to make nuclear weapons.

Iran has announced that they are going to open an oil market that opperates on the Euro.  That's bad for America because the US dollar is currently the primary currency for international oil trade.  So the United States has announced that Iran plans to have nuclear weapons.  How convenient.\n\ntaz: That's exactly what the US government wants you to think.  It's called propaganda.  Keep in mind that eveything that government agencies say they say for a reason.  They rarely just tell the straight out truth, and the current administration has a particularly notable history of lying.  You should always think about why they're saying what they're saying.

It is evident that Iran's efforts are focused both on uranium enrichment and a parallel plutonium effort. Iran claims it is trying to establish a complete nuclear fuel cycle to support a civilian energy program, but this same fuel cycle would be applicable to a nuclear weapons development program. Iran appears to have spread their nuclear activities around a number of sites to reduce the risk of detection or attack. \n\nIran does not currently have nuclear weapons, and would appear to be about two years away from acquiring nuclear weapons. By some time in 2006, however, Iran could be producting fissile material for atomic bombs using both uranium enriched at Natanz and plutonium produced at Arak. The Natanz facility might produce enough uranium for about five bombs every year, and the Arak facility might produced enough plutonium for as many as three bombs every year.

My guess is about five years.  I'm planning to stay out of big cities as much as possible.  Iran is pursuing uranium enrichment technology; with high-quality U-235, it is almost trivially easy to build a nuclear bomb -- unlike plutonium technology, which the North Koreans tried, and which did not work very well.

We have been obsessed with it since 1979 when the Shah of Iran lost power to new politcal forces. That is when  Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini took power.\n\nAfter Khomeini's death, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has taken power and has taken a very strong stance against Isreal and peace in general by buying $9 billion worth of surface to air missles from Russia and restarting the Nuclear energy program. Iran had been watched closely by the UN International Atomic Energy Agency for a number of years now but recently Iran has taken UN seals of nuclear material which they claim to be using for nuclear energy but could be used in warheads and other bombs.\n\nThe problem is that we don't know what could happen next because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad does not have a track record and is more extreme than the former leaders of Iran. This is a situation which could become worse very quickly.

Yes. We would be happy to see the Iranians set off a nuclear bomb in their country. (Their country being Iran)

Iran has no nukes, independant inspections have proved this, they do have a few certerfuges (used to enrich uranium), and a small amount of enriched uranium... for the most part, even our government recognizes the fact that as of yet Iran doesn't have nuclear bombs... in fact, Iran is many years away from developing even a simple uranium fission bomb (in my opinion, probably 4-10 years if advancement continues at its current rate)... however, they are on "the path" to develop such devices... but as of now, the advancement of thier nuclear program depends ENTIRELY on forign technology (yea, they could eventualy build it, but it may then take them more like 30-40 years), and machienery (that is how they got centerfuges, they didn't build them)... they do have radiologicly active munitions ("uranium bullets"), but most countries do, and they are not a signifigant threat (the bullets are made from depleted Uranium)...\n\n(dependant mainly on thier design choice) They are far from developing the hardest (scientificly speaking) parts of a nuclear device, such as the "pit", which is primarily made of plutonium, the technology to machine the "lense" (high explosive charges), and the trigger.

I think no country should do this.But as long as there are several countries who are allowed to use nuclear energy,Iran has also every right to.

Iran is not going to be able to develop nuclear weapons and a lot of nations, not just the U.S. would stand to oppose it with military force if need be.\n\nThe funny thing is, like most middle east oil producers, Iran has less than 13 months of capital to support its economy. A real embargo, a true cessation of all oil exports would so cripple the nation I doubt its government would last 90 days.\n\nSadly the east and west are so dependent on petroleum that solution is not likely to happen.

Iran is a member of the United Nations and a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and is not suppose to be developing nuclear weapons.  Although Iran has been stating that they only want peace use of atomic energy, their position is highly suspect, if for no other reason than the fact that Russia offered to provide the atomic fuel they needed for such peaceful use and Iran turned that offer down.  \n\nBeyond that reality, no nation with nuclear weapons wants such weapons to spread to other countries.  This is particularly true of countries that have unstable and radical governments.  It isn’t a matter of a country’s right to tell them they can’t have such weapons, but a matter of realistic defense.
