Israel: Iran has not crossed nuclear 'red line' (Netanyahu!)

Free Republic

What's up with Netanyahu?  Maybe it's the pressure being put on him by Obama.

At any rate, as far as I'm concerned, Iran crossed the line as soon as they started developing their own nuclear program.

Light water reactors aren't built for their energy.  They are built for bombs.  Simple as that.

Anybody who says otherwise is full of crap.

Too strong a statement?  I don't think so.  Using water requires expensive containment facilities.  This makes it uneconomical and potentially dangerous.  Not to mention the waste disposal problem.

You have to get rid of light water reactors and go with molten-salt reactors which do not require so much containment.  In addition, there is no possibility of proliferation and waste is much more manageable.

There is simply no excuse for light water reactors!  They are Model-T technology in the Space Age.
