I will look, but I generally avoid anything in Huffington Post as being filled more with their agendas than fact

Before you jump on the Trump band wagon I suggest that you go to PeterSchwartz.com and read his article that was just published in the Huffington Post titled "Trump and the meaning of egoism".

He was a very effective leader, at least in the beginning, in terms of tapping into the "german fatherland" thing that was important to the german people. He also tapped into the anti-semitic sentiments (for reasons I dont understand, but accept were there all over europe actually). Towards the end we was a bit psychotic and it brought him down. As to "good" leader, if you mean a moral one, absolutely NOT. Same for Putin- he is an effective leader in many ways, but again not "good". I used the wrong word I think.

Well, I didn't know that that was the last one, but
why be surprised at any anti-American, anti-indus-
trial thing the s.o.b. does?

Hitler was also a "good" leader. Wasn't he?

Time to get Trump in there to stick up for the USA, like Putin does for Russia. I was impressed by Putin in his 60 minutes interview- He loves his mother/father land and does what those people want (which isnt so great actually, but at least he is a good leader). I wish WE had a good leader like that here in the USA. My vote is on Trump this time to blast the old guard and get some business sense into government.

Obama is a muslim who wants to destroy the USA from within. Crazy how people voted for this idiot.

How many pegs left until we hit bottom?

What would you expect from a mindless, brain only progressive.
Everything is upside down, backwards and inside out in the world of progressivism.

Opposing everything that is good and right by 180° since teddy roosevelt and woodie wilson.

[ You may have noticed that I do not 'capitalize' certain names...that is do to the fact that I feel those names and the creatures attached to those names do not deserve that kind of respect.]

ahh... hadn't thought of the Naval assets..

Actually, each and every commercial and most government nuclear reactors in the United States uses enriched uranium of some level or another as primary fuel (although late in a cycle they are running mostly on Pu generated in fuel rods). Commercial plants use between 3.5-5.0% enriched-in-U235 uranium fuel.Military plants (subs/ships) use 20% minimum and in many cases much higher and classified. :-)

If this is truly the last enrichment system in US (still checking on that), then yes it's time to freak out, as it's a play to shutter 104 operating nuclear reactors that supply 20+% of electricity to and hold up the electrical grid. Not to mention the nuclear fleet (read 95% of Navy assets).

Why is everyone freaking out about this? Enriched uranium was once used in nuclear reactors for power generation, but they moved away from that in designs decades ago.

The only purpose for fissile material in a modern US nuclear weapon is to be the primary (detonator) on the real (fusion) bomb. A uranium bomb like Nagasaki or Hiroshima is pretty much a firecracker by today's standards, and far too large & heavy to properly place on a cruise missile or ICBM.

More recent US weapons use plutonium as the trigger to super heat a hydrogen core, which fuses hydrogen atoms to helium and releasing 1000s of times more energy in doing so.

I'm pretty sure this was just a corporate welfare contract to Bechtel or someone to keep making uranium and the stockpiles are probably years or decades deep.

The US also operates a nuclear fuel bank of sorts, where we take enriched uranium from these third world players on agreements, then downgrade it and redistribute for civilian purposes.

Natural uranium is like 0.3% pure, you need 20% for a crappy N Korea-style bomb (slightly more yield than a US high explosive), our best A-bomb stuff would be like 90%+.

Since the era of the H-Bomb though in the 50's & 60's, we just don't use this very much I would think.

It's pretty unimaginable that a scenario would develop that we can't resolve with our 10s of thousands of nuclear weapons. We keep a few in South Korea on a hair trigger for obvious reasons, but basically 4 or 5 of them would completely vaporize the North Korean half of the peninsula. 6 or 7 and you're talking nothing left and only glass for a ground surface.

The current generation nuclear reactors using breeder-reactor technology, and their fuel is actually the nuclear waste of yesteryear... so they don't even use uranium either anymore. The ones that do use uranium are prone to meltdowns like the one in Japan.

The UN is dominated by Socialists and worse, Obama is dominated by the UN.

I find it very difficult to believe 0 is capable of all of this destruction of the country by himself. If this were the case his successor could reverse everything he has done. However, I just do not see that happening, as it has not happened in the past. The new man in office just continues the destructive course that was set with the passing of the anti-trust laws over 100 years ago. If you ever become a fly on the wall in some office in d.c. you might hear the truth. But until then do not believe he is anything more than a spokesman for the real rulers. This in my opinion shows that he is a moron and when our country explodes even the black population may very well finally realize he did nothing positive for them.

Thanks for sharing, Allosaur. I’ll have to take a closer look at this story. This doesn’t seem right. There must be more to it.
