And all the seven things you see there-- as you can see, very clear, concrete, down-to-earth, real biological phenomena. They know how to reprocess and repackage it and export it so that it can be reused.
And we say, if you want civilian energy, you can have power plants, you can buy your fuel rods from abroad, but there's no reason to have enrichment or plutonium reprocessing because those are the key capabilities you need to develop nuclear weapons. Now the five countries that have those capabilities and don't have nuclear weapons are Argentina, Brazil, Holland, Germany, and Japan.
They buy fuel rods from the Russians, they use it and they send the spent fuel back to Russia. So it cannot be reprocessed in the plutonium. So I just think it's important for your listeners to understand just some of the technical nuclear history here, in order to unpack this question of did Khamenei
And the deal under the JCPOA, the Russians would come and get all their plutonium waste, which the waste comes out all polluted and not useful, you need the reprocessing facility to get all of the impurities out. - Just to clarify- - It could be that I'm wrong about that, but I don't believe that they ever had a reprocessing facility a Arak that they could use
He wrote some piece of code over, like, a week. And it reprocessed all of the imagery. And it fixed it and made it go away.
- Not they, but the Obama administration, He's right, under the JCPOA, poured concrete into the calandria in order to prevent them from using that reactor to reprocess plutonium. So there's a distinction between Arak and Boucher.
I mean, it's worth mentioning that if Iran wanted to have civilian nuclear energy, there are 23 countries in the world that have it, but they don't have enrichment and they don't have reprocessing . We sign these deals called the gold standard with the South Koreans, with the Emiratis, with others.
The UAE signed the God standard. They said we'll have no enrichment capability or reprocessing , they spent about $20 billion on that and it supplies 25% of their electrical generation. Khamenei spent a half a trillion dollars and that program supplies maybe 3%
Or maybe we need to go and look up some IAEA documents. 'Cause I don't believe that Arak ever had a reprocessing facility for their plutonium waste. And the deal under the JCPOA, the Russians would come and get all their plutonium waste, which the waste comes out all polluted and not useful,
- So the Obama administration was very clear under the JCPOA, we are gonna pour concrete into the Arak facility as Scott acknowledged, because we are concerned that Arak can be used for reprocessing , plutonium for plutonium pathway to a nuclear weapon. - Can be used, but we don't know if it was used.
bits and bytes; cogno, neurons. And with nanotechnology, we will reprocess all materials.
Cuz you said earlier and you say this in the book that you you think of dreams as a kind of overnight therapy, right? Like that the brain is processing, reprocessing emotional experiences, maybe stressful ones. What do you make of nightmares which seem like the opposite Right.
principle and any facilities to produce fissionable material, no reprocessing . We have now moved to agreeing that there are certain types of reprocessing and enrichment they could do, and that the only thing that's a red line is the acquisition of nuclear weapons.
scale and the batteries all over the world at scale and the critical minerals in rare earths for decades now. not just having access so they can exploit them, but also so that they can reprocess them. For anyone that doesn't know what critical minerals are, Yeah.
the world double they're about 400 now if they double to another 400 so 800 or 1000 plants that means you're going to have to build new fuel factories new facilities that can enrich the uranium into fuel rods or that can reprocess the fuel afterwards separating out the plutonium the trouble with that is that both those facilities can be used for weapons
brain can do it the only way for example to build categories is to have past experience and to know for example uh that this is a pointer or you know that this is a screen and you don't have to kind of reprocess it every time so fundamentally perception turns out is a statistical process um another way of explaining that is you can look at an
with impurities that you can't make nuclear weapons fuel out of it. By the way, they never have to this day had a reprocessing facility for reprocessing plutonium, even their current plutonium waste from their heavy water reactor at Bushehr, to make weapons fuel out of that.
And contrary to a story that I am often confronted with that suicide rates are spiking, Indeed, almost 10% of American nuclear electricity generation comes from reprocessed fuel from nuclear weapons,
got the raw downlink from the LEM from one of the Draper engineers who had it on microfilm in his basement, something that NASA didn't have. We scanned it and OCR'd it, and then reprocessed all the data, including the audio into this sort of richer view of how the system actually worked.
And we have moved from-- the original American position was Iran could not have any principle and any facilities to produce fissionable material, no reprocessing . We have now moved to agreeing that there are certain types of reprocessing and enrichment they could do, and that the
thought what did I I do wrong maybe you shouldn't read any of my Comics I can't believe you wanted to include what I told you about my private EMDR session that's eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy I won't if you don't want me to H I just hate that I can't fix any of the mistakes I've made and people will
It's a heavy water reactor that was built for a plutonium pathway to nuclear weapons. Which is exactly why under the JCPOA, they literally had to pour concrete into the middle of it to prevent it from reprocessing plutonium. - I think we're gonna need a scientist to come in here and split the difference.
you need the reprocessing facility to get all of the impurities out. - Just to clarify- - It could be that I'm wrong about that, but I don't believe that they ever had a reprocessing facility a Arak that they could use to remove all those impurities and then have weapons grade plutonium fuel as the North Koreans do.
- Can be used, but we don't know if it was used. - Oh, we know it never was, there never was any reprocessing of weapons fuel there. - But there was concrete poured.
