On the one hand, he’s a nutjob running a totalitarian regime, but on the other hand, why burn oil to make electricity when you can sell it for $70 a barrel instead?
A nuc power plant for electricity does not use re-processed uranium. Different uses.
They could have had nuclear electricity without all the stuff they are building - most countries with nuclear power generation don’t do enrichment or reprocessing. In fact they are not even building a real nuclear power-generation plant. Its all for either uranium-enrichment or making plutonium.
Everything they are doing, just like the NK’s, is building exactly what you would need to have to make nuclear weapons.
I have been getting very frustrated with the lefties on this point.
