Iran told atomic inspectors this week that it had run into a serious problem at a newly completed nuclear reactor that was supposed to start feeding electricity into the national grid this month, raising questions about whether the trouble was sabotage, a startup problem, or possibly the beginning of the project’s end.
In a report on Friday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran told inspectors on Wednesday that it was planning to unload nuclear fuel from its Bushehr reactor — the sign of a major upset. For years, Tehran has hailed the reactor as a showcase of its peaceful nuclear intentions and its imminent startup as a sign of quickening progress.
But nuclear experts said the giant reactor, Iran’s first nuclear power plant, now threatens to become a major embarrassment, as engineers remove 163 fuel rods from its core.
Iran gave no reason for the unexpected fuel unloading, but it has previously admitted that the Stuxnet computer worm infected the Bushehr reactor. On Friday, computer experts debated whether Stuxnet was responsible for the surprising development.
Russia, which provided the fuel to Iran, said earlier this month that the worm’s infection of the reactor should be investigated, arguing that it might trigger a nuclear disaster . Other experts said those fears were overblown, but noted that the full workings of the Stuxnet worm remained unclear.
To me it doesn't really matter if the setback is sabotage, a startup problem, or what ever. The only thing that matters is that it's a setback, because that is great news.
The peace of the world depends on Iran not having a Nuke.
It's too bad we have the weakest possible person at the helm at a time when we need someone less apologetic and much more forceful in charge.
Instead of fear Obama's persona provokes laughter.
You'd rather a warmonger?
Better than a clown.
Support of fascism acknowledged...
have a nice day.

The latest in an impressive career of forum failings.
Carry on. You're a conservatives greatest weapon.
Relax conservatives, they can't even get a nuclear power plant up and running without major problems. How do you expect them to actually create a nuke and then be able to transport it to its desired target..

Stuxnet is pretty awesome for what it accomplished, but also terrifying. It represents the first time that computer malware has been used to sabotage real-world machinery. A couple weeks ago Stuxnet was leaked publicly to the hacker communities of the world. How long before some variant/spinoff of Stuxnet starts taking down OUR energy grid? The thought is quite scary, and IMO our government isn't doing enough to guard against that possibility.

why's that again? because they know how to use them? they still remain the only country in the world that has inflicted nuclear devastation on a nation not just once, but twice.America is the only country that should have nukes.
We need another President Reagan!

At least you aren't flipping your lid.
