My thinking is that Israel has resigned itself to a nuclear Iran and will wait like the rest of the world and see how this plays out.

Yesterday while climbing a couple miles above Paradise on Mt. Rainier I spent a moment wondering how “The President” would have done on the hike. Those spindly legs answer the question. Plus he would be scared of the wildlife.

I don't think that the presence of the fuel rods would necessarily cause widespread contamination from bombing the reactor. A solid hit would basically break up the nuclear core and hopefully it would not remain critical. There would be some radioactive steam from the cooling system.

Locally, the site would be a mess. Just pour concrete over it; it's done. There's no point in sending in a repair/cleanup crew...the ones in Chernobyl died, and they still had to pour concrete over it.

The scary thing is that I think Ahmanutjob fully expects Israel or the US to blow up his nuke sites. I think he is planning on it.

The big question is, what can he do in retaliation? He really wants that 12th imam to come out of that well.

Well, might as well have some fun!

Let's nuke the plant ourselves!

Step 1: Go to the High yield detonation effects simulator website at:Nuclear weapons effect simulator

Step 2: Next, Tab down to the Latitude, Longitude field and enter 28.82628,50.88727

Step 3: Enter your nuclear weapon yield.

Note:
1 = approx (@) 1 kiloton (kt) explosion, i.e. small, tactical nuclear weapon (>SADM, >davie crockett);
9= @10KT a medium tactical nuclear weapon (dial a yield 155mm/8" artillery shell, W80 warhead, non-boosted B61) Note: half the size of Nagasaki bomb, 3/4 size of Hiroshima bomb;
99= 100KT a small strategic nuclear weapon such as the W76 warhead (or boosted tactical nuke);
500= @500 kt or one-half of a Megaton (MT). Note: Most strategic nuclear weapons are between @300kt (W87) and @500kt (w88) today;
999= 1000kt or one Megaton (1MT). Most mid cold war weapons were in the Megaton range;
9999= 10 MT- Very large nuclear weapon (Titan II missile carried 9 MT W53 warhead);
15000= 15 MT- Castle Bravo test. Largest US nuclear test explostion. Note: Some estimates say 22MT!;
25000= 25 MT (B41 nuclear bomb) the highest yield US nuclear weapon in service. Now retired;
50000= 50 MT - Tsar Bomba Soviet test. 50 MT. Largest ever nuclear explosion;
99999= 100MT Theoretical yield limit of boosted Tsar Bomba.

Step 4: Enjoy "nuking" other locations. ("Drop" a 100 MT nuke (99999kt) on NYC and see what happens)!

Enjoy!
