#1 The bottom line is that nuclear power is the future for much of the world, and only the IAEA can try to keep 'em honest. The temptation will always be there to try and make nuclear weapons, and everybody knows it, so total transparency is the only way to go.

#2 While the world community scrutinizes Iran's nuclear program, Latin America's biggest country is weeks away from taking a controversial step and firing up the region's first major uranium-enrichment plant.

The big differences being that Brazil hasn't been making nuke-the-Jews pronouncements lately, nor is a known supporter of international terrorism.

#3 Imagine the imagined effect of this plant's discharge on Amazon fauna. Radioactive fifty foot long electric eels, anacondas the size of trains, glowing giant pirhanas. The bad movie and ~~comic book~~graphic novel possibilities are nearly endless.

#4 God what a moron, the "Discharge" from any nuclear power plant is warm water, usualy not more than a few degrees above the normal water temperature, Radiation, if any, is nearly unmeasurable.

#5 I really, really, REALLY don't think we need to worrry about Brazilian Extremists smuggling a nuke into a neighboring country and setting it off.

#6 Redneck Jim: I know that. That's why I said: "Imagine the imagined effect". I thought my post was tongue-in-cheek enough to be obvious.

I guess one can never use too many /sarc tags.
