US Nuclear Expert Raises Concerns Over Safety of N. Korea's LWRs

In Seoul to talk about his visit to North Korea last year, Stanford University professor Siegfried Hecker, indicated how important it is for a country to choose the right materials and construction methodology when building such reactors.

As long as the reactor melts down while Kim Jong il and his murderous clan are making one of their ‘inspections’ with great fanfare, and the little bastard is radiated until he’s pulsating green and blue, I think we could handle an accident at Yongbyon.

Hope your week has been good so far TLR!

Best,

When the NK reactor blows, Hussein 0bama will probably go over there, bow deeply to kim and give him a boatload of OUR tax dollars to fix it.
