Iran’s nuclear program has been a serious threat for years, but experts are now warning about another possible path that most people have probably never heard about.
Instead of using enriched uranium, Iran may be able to use plutonium from used fuel at its nuclear power plant. Nuclear weapons have never been built this way before, but experts say the science has been studied for decades, and many believe it is possible.
If Iran chose to go this route, the amount of material could reportedly be enough for around 200 nuclear weapons.
For years, the world has been focused on Iran’s uranium program. But if there is another path available, and if experts say it would not take more time or effort than the uranium route, then the danger is even bigger than most people realize.
Israel has warned the world for a long time about the danger of a nuclear Iran. This report is another reminder that the threat is not going away, and ignoring it will not make it less dangerous.
