Unrest delays Egypt nuclear power plant tender

Iran only has one nuclear reactor operating (built by Russians), and they are mostly interested in acquiring technology. Most probably it is meant to give Iran the option to develop a nuke if needed, otherwise they will just keep building a few more nuclear reactors, at a very slow pace. My...

Intresting article Mark Hibbs • Saudi Arabian Uranium Enrichment?

Do we have any experts on dams in this forum, I mean working knowledge, and education ?

So far all the news I have read points to there being some grandiose talks and plans but little investment and execution. Perhaps China is to blame for not investing and building in Gwadar ? If so, why have the Chinese given up ?

BATMAN, what you said about lots of "bharati" (Indian) workers in Iran is plain wrong. Maybe you meant Afghan workers, and they mostly do the hardest manual jobs (construction) that many Iranians don't want to do. I doubt you have lived in Iran, or you would not have said this. I must concur...

If there is no water shortage in Pakistan, then what you say makes sense. But hydroelectricity is a renewable clean energy. It may not require huge reservoirs as much as many dams with turbines at various points using energy of gravity. Since Northern Pakistan has some of the highest mountains...

If it is for electricity generation, or to free up oil for exports, it is doubtful to be economically meaningful. The cost of building, maintaing reactors, importing uranium or enriched uranium, will offset those savings. It will also make SA very dependent on imports for its electricity needs...

There are several major dams on the Indus River with large reservoirs. Presumably the water in the reservoirs can be carried via aqueduct to all neighboring areas, without the need to add more dams. Dams in flat areas are more tricky too, so perhaps only a few can be built in upstream areas...

Are you from Anatolia, Antalya, or Kurdish regions ? From what I read most of the inhabitants of Western Turkey are of European origin - even though they speak Turkish and are Muslim - mostly Greek origin (from ancient times) but also many from Eastern European countries (that used to be part...

Maybe Pakistan does not need additional dams for irrigation, perhaps only for hydroelectricity ? Maybe the cost of building hydro dams is too high ? Iran being dry has less water but more dams List of dams and reservoirs in Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Good map of rivers and dams in Pakistan in this wiki article: List of dams and reservoirs in Pakistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pakistan has potential to have many more dams, given the precipitation in the north, and mountains. Rivers from himalayas may have potential for building...

... TO VODKA TALK IN GOOD HUMOR (The last cartoon was real funny !)

OH. BTW, Mosa, you are gonna have to use your printer and keyboard a lot more often, until pencil techn transfer happens ;)

Well, that's a good policy, if true. However, in the case of uranium enrichment, it would be crossing a US red line, wouldn't it ? Is that even possible given the "close ties" ?

No one said that ....

The combination of 1000's of boats, fireworks, missiles, guns, remotely triggered mines, subs, and god knows what else, of course won't scratch or dent a single ship :rolleyes:

Is China going to build any of these $100 billion16 nuclear plants ? Saudi Arabia to spend $100bn on 16 nuclear plants - Arab News By the way, congratulations for the 16 nuclear plants ! On a side note: It is said that Iran does not need nuclear energy because it has oil, so nuclear program...

If this report is true, it would confirm that SA's Abdullah is actively conspiring to strangle Iran.
