| The face of the reactors shown seem identical. This you are supposed to believe. They are identical. Count the holes folks. Perhaps the picture is of identical reactors. Or, it just might be they are the same. The North Korean reactor required a cooling tower as well as water from a much cooler North Korean reactor. Where is the cooling tower? The North Korean reactor also was very small for Plutonium production. North Korea had designs for Magnox reactors ten times larger and much more useful. Why go with the baby? Last comes the problem of fuel. The advantage of a Magnox is that it allows the use of "natural Uranium" fuel. But it requires a great deal of highly refined natural Uranium. This requires a significant plant to produce the Uranium fuel as well as a source. Syria has only very poor Uranium reserves and no one has shown pictures of a fuel plant (see pictures of North Korean plant at http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/dprk/yongbyon-imagery.htm |
