| US to help build Vietnam's first nuclear plant |
| 2007-03-21 |
 The United States has pledged to help Vietnam build a nuclear power plant if the country switches to non-weapons-grade uranium in its test reactor, a Vietnamese diplomatic source said Tuesday. Washington was ready to help its former enemy turned trading partner meet its burgeoning energy needs but wanted to ensure it does not produce high-grade radioactive material that could fall into the wrong hands, the source said. |

| #3 California, despite recognizing the state's need for alternate fuels sources includ nuke power, is considered too over-regulated and pro-Environmentalist to allow new plants to be built, at least on the scale needed.

| #2 Not the first one. We built a research reactor there during the war and pulled the core when the south fell. |
