They couldn’t design and operate a rubber band. Just like all of the “Muslim” inventions and achievements during the era of Muslim Empire, it was Christians and Jews doing the intellectual lifting. Koreans building it didn’t discover fission

I remember that shit UAE 5.56 that came in about a decade ago. I had read about popped primers but had never actually seen one. That shit had 5 or so per box. One of them locked up an AR of mine. Fuck the UAE. They shouldn’t be allowed to have a nuclear anything.

who actually built it was it Korean workers or did they use UAE workers, that may make a big difference
and then who is going to operate it? That is an important question. |

(sigh)
 They aren't claiming it was Arab-designed or built. It is well known that it is a KEPCO (GE) reactor design, and a lot of folks from TVA and NRC and the like have been advising them for years. They are well aware that they have a lot of work to do to get their populace trained and educated to get along in the modern global economy, and they are throwing a lot of resources to get there. Would you rather they had bought a Chinese or Russian reactor design, and paid their engineers and technicians top salaries to work there for 10 years? They will probably also buy a lot of "Made in the USA" stuff to maintain and defend that plant for years to come. We should be glad they picked the USA as partners. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 8 years from the start of construction to start-up. Meanwhile in Europe and the US ... Exactly, they are probably responsible for keeping some of our most skilled and experienced workers in that industry employed until the next generation can (hopefully) take over. That is, if regulation doesn't strangle off our civil nuclear industry completely.  |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess this is different than the plant in Iran for the last 20 years? Persian vs Arab? The difference is the fuel cycle control. The Iranians have sought a level of fuel cycle control that has no ROI, and positions them well for nefarious purposes and repurpose. This is why the international community has a problem with the Iranian actions. The Iranians' push for full civilian fuel cycle control is merely an obfuscation in scale and scope for their military programs. In other words, have so many personnel involved and foreign monitors simply can't distinguish between the legitimate actors and bad actors. In the case of the UAE, the Koreans are in charge of the fuel cycle, which greatly reduces the possibility of covert military program drafting off of the civilian program. This may not seem like much of a difference to the average person, but in practical application, the difference is night and day. |

So instead of using a cheap fuel that is available locally in almost unlimited quantities, they'll be using a fuel that isn't even produced locally.
