Should Iraq, Zimbabwe,Congo and iran .be allowed to use nuclear power for electricity?

Question

Why is the US allowed to use it for bombs... and those countries can't use it to light up their houses

Answer 1

Absolutely. It's their right under international law to do so should they develop the technology to do so. It's also their right, under international law, not to be attacked for doing so.

Under Non-proliferation treaties, onus is NOT on these countries to prove that these are developing technology only for peaceful means. Onus is on other countries wanting to stop them to prove that they are doing so to develop WMD.

Answer 2

1. there is a cost with processing, handling, SAFELY operating, and disposing of nuclear materials. It would be exponentially more intelligent to allow countries that can afford this, to export electricity to these countries at a reduced rate, for their agreement to not pursue their own nuclear interests.

2. if a country is receiving foreign aid as it is, they certainly cannot handle the costs associated with nuclear power.

3. if other countries import power to the countries, those countries can concentrate their other resources on addressing other quality of life issues (disease, water, medical, education, etc) that are just as, or more pressing, than electricity from nuclear power

Finally, the best method of utilizing nuclear power is using U-235 as a thermal fuel, then reprocessing it for Plutonium and U-238 for use in breeder reactors, which can then create U-235 again... doing this creates a source of power for milleniums to come, for the entire world. HOWEVER this same technology is also used to process plutonium which could be used for nuclear weapons, so even though its an essentially limitless source of energy, America has agreed to not reprocess spent fuel, which sets the example for the rest of the world to follow, in turning our backs on dual technology (energy and bomb capabilities) in favor of a more limited source of energy and oil dependance for the time being, but to promote peace and non-proliferation.

Answer 3

When the intension is to use the nuclear power for peaceful purposes it should be allowed. The region man need dependable power to develop thier ecomomy. The use of nuclear power to build nuclear bombs should be strictly forbidden.

Answer 4

The claims you point out accusing that the US made fake statements approximately Iran's nuclear targets. is genuinely ridiculous and asinine, those claims have been created from the UN IAEA inspectors there who mentioned the enrichment and centrifuges. And the US is all out to safeguard all of our pastime and allies there interior the middle East. to not forget approximately different worldwide places like Pakistan, Saudi's , and others who're additionally worried approximately this and is a factor of the coalition for disarming Iran

Answer 5

The idea is that those countries will use nuclear power for weapons and use these weapons to force their views on the rest of the world.

Kind of like what America uses its nuclear weapons for.

Answer 6

So you never heard that the USA has nuclear reactors for electricity, eh? The countries you named would blow themselves up. You don't watch or read the news? Again, those countries can't even have there own government, keep shooting themselves. Geez !

Answer 7

The sad fact about nuclear bombs is that third world countries want it mainly to counter US aggression. And if the US does not stop its aggression, they will have it.

Answer 8

when you have starving people, spending billions of dollars on researching nuclear power when children die from hunger each day is a bit obscene, don 't you think? Those countries should get their priorities straight.

Answer 9

Nuclear power for energy should be available for whoever wants to use it as such.

Answer 10

In a truly just world who would have the right to decide?
