I want a nuclear reactor, too.
Now where did I put Putin's phone number......
A picture says a thousand words.
Pretty good business practice. Offer to sell them something you know will be destroyed as soon as it nears completion, get the money up front and save a ton of money on warranty repairs and services.....
Targets everywhere.
I would not fly on a russian plane, or drive in a russian car. Why on earth would anyone want to own a russian nuclear plant?
In this case the word is "Boom"
Vlad The Imploder ...
What else besides Vodka can russia offer any country in the world?
Put's gotta problem and is selling the only thing he can.
I was just thinking the same thing....why would anybody want one from Russia??? It's kinda like saying you want a car and getting offered a Pinto.
Their idea of reactor containment involves a purchase order for Bob's Aluminum Sheds.
Oil, Caviar, natural gas, MIGs, AK-47s, enriched uranium.........
I'm not a physicist, but what I was once told about Soviet nuclear reactors scared the hell out of me. In the West, we use heavy water to absorb excess neutrons and moderate the reaction of the fissile material. In the USSR, they used graphite. Graphite is cheaper. It can also catch fire.
No, I don't want any Russian engineering, thanks.

Did someone say: BOB?!?!......
If you want access to long-range bombers or nuclear submarines & other advanced miltech from the
Russians,which is what India is looking at,buying a nuclear reactor or 2 makes a lot of sense to add weight to a deal.
India & numerous other countries have been operating Soviet designed reactors for decades & have had about the same sort of problems that any reactor would face...Barring cut-off of nuclear fuel supplies.
You probably also mean that the American designed reactors which will come soon come up near these Russian reactors in India are also targets....
"I want a nuclear reactor, too.

ROTFLOL!!
After Chernobyl,I am not sure I would want a Russian Nuclear Plant.
Better an American one.
