That’s cool. Rafaels are a joke compared to what we can make sure the Israelis have.
Sure are a lotta fan boys for the lazy treacherous sand people here.
By the way, that by that logic of “someone else will sell it to them if we don’t”, you can justify selling anything from dope on the street corner, to nukes a sunni despot. Hell, why not throw in some cattle prods and whips they can use to torture people too? After all, if we don’t let Tractor Supply sell them to the camel jockeys, some European company will.
They are the enemy, and at this point are barely manageable. But they are -far- from trustworthy.
Pssst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_energy_in_Saudi_Arabia
Saudi Arabia has no fuel production facilities and would be reliant on nuclear fuel from the global market. In 2010, a deal was signed with Toshiba and Shaw to build reactors in Saudi Arabia, and with Exelon to manage the nuclear facilities. The group will either be using the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor or Westinghouse’s AP1000.[3]
In February 2011, Saudi Arabia signed its first nuclear accord with France, a leader in nuclear technology exports.[6] It is expected that Saudi Arabia will build a number of nuclear reactors in the near future with the aid of France to expand King Abdullah’s Atomic and Renewable Energy City devoted to research and the peaceful application of nuclear energy.[7][8]
In March 2015, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Saudi Arabia and South Korea. This could lead to the construction of at least two South Korean-designed SMART reactors in Saudi Arabia.[9] SMART stands for System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor.[10]
Other people already HAVE sold them nuclear reactors. They aren’t American designs, they don’t use American/Canadian fuel systems and they don’t have American controls.
