Nuclear Reactors 666 - The U.S. Department Of Energy Has Issued Secret Authorizations To Six Companies Who Seek To Sell Nuclear Technology To Saudi Arabia
I have blogged before about the U.S. interest in selling nuclear power reactors to Saudi Arabia. One of the problems with such sales is the fact that some technologies that can be used to support nuclear power reactors can also be used to help construct nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia has been reluctant to commit to assurances that it will not use U.S. nuclear technology on any weapons projects.
