Very interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
TTU and Hub Ping
What nuclear facilities will they be dismantling? Very curious expenditure of money I would think.
I thought that the Israeli air force was the acknowledged expert in dismantling nuclear installations.
Earlier this year, scientists at the Center of Environmental Radiation Studies received $948,000 in grants from the U.S. Department of State and $363,500 from the United Kingdom to train Iraqis on how to dismantle nuclear facilities in a manner consistent with international standards.WTF, over. WHAT BOMBS??? Is this a case where an innocuous story pierces the veil of secrecy? It starts out like they are going to be taking down Saddam's old research facilities. OK, understandable. Could be like the Iranian ones that heh heh heh stopped work way back when. So we start by teaching them how to dismantle bombs??? A radiation safety concern??? BOMBS???Ron Chesser, director for the Center of Environmental Radiation Studies, said the goal of this program is to assist the Iraqi government in several different ways.
"They want to get back into international graces," he said. "They want to fulfill all of the demands that led them to the sanctions against Iraq. They want to get all that behind them, and dismantlement of the nuclear facilities is one of those major steps."
Chesser said $510,000 of the grant from the U.S. Department of State will train Iraqis to gain sufficient experience in dismantling in order to begin disassembling bombs by July 1.
Also from the State Department, $438,000 will assist Iraq by creating a radiation workers safety program to protect the workers during dismantlement procedures.
Holy crap. Who's bombs? Iraq's? Iran's? Russia's?
Pingaroo.
So where is the contamination?
Have we found a WMD site and had just kept quiet upto this point?
Why would we be training Iraqis to "dismantle nuclear devices" if there were none to dismantle?
