It carries a tiny amount (10 pounds of uranium is very small indeed) of enriched uranium. No more can be added. The reactor vessel, if this is like the ones I am familiar with (it should be, it's about the same vintage) is about the size of a trash can. These are most useful in radioisotope production, if anything, and were really designed as a training tool. No it cannot be used to produce additional material.

Who cares about the size? Can this reactor be used to further enrich unranium to make a weapons grade high yield product? And the 10 pounds of highly enriched uranium we gave them? Can that be used in a nuclear weapon or enriched using this reactor? Unlike most conservatives, I know I know very little - perhaps you can enlighten us, Giaus.

Do you understand what a research reactor is? This one is rated at 5 MWt. http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iran/tehran-tnrc.htm Such reactors are tiny and a whole lot of American colleges own one.

North Korea is a puppet of Iran, right? None dare call it a conspiracy! John Birch call your office. It is curious that the neo-conservative "Rightroots Independents(tm)" blogs seem to follow similar talking points. Better hurry up and get that Iran invasion in before the fall elections.
