That was the basis of Iran's insistance on producing enriched uranium despite the repercussions for anyone who's forgotten. My second guess would be that if they further enriched U-235 from fuel grade to weapons grade, they wouldn't announce it until after they had their first successful test of a fission chain reaction and possessed a suitable delivery vehicle to deploy a miniaturized fission device. |
nobody wants a informed opinion in this thread! WTH are you thinking??
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
