Saudi Arabia, China Ink Nuke Cooperation Deal

^^

If saudi arabia gets the bomb i doubt your daddy usa will complain.

I don't understand why such people are loose on this forum?

Is seems like a policy matter to bash and use foul language against Saudi Arabia.
 
Intresting article
Mark Hibbs • Saudi Arabian Uranium Enrichment?

Now, I can’t prove that Saudi Arabia has gone back on a previous understanding with the US not to enrich and reprocess, nor that it wants to enrich uranium, but I did find this:

“Saudi Arabia and Bahrain signed separate MOUs on Nuclear Energy Cooperation with the US in May 2008. Both included the same commitments to forego domestic enrichment and reprocessing that the UAE had earlier put forward in its policy white paper.”

and then this:

Poyry, a Finnish power industry consulting company, has been tapped by Saudi Arabia to, among other things nuclear, look into the feasibility and prospects of enriching uranium there, according to two named executives in a Reuters interview.
 
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. Solar energy would make a lot more sense if purpose is to free up oil.

It might be a prestige thing, a way of acquiring some nuclear technology, and paving the way for future nuke developments downstream (perhaps 10-20 years from now)

In Mubarik time, Egypt is also going nuclear despite huge gas reservoirs.
Iran has huge gas reservoirs but is spending fortune on getting the nuclear know how.

Good you find answers to your own question.
So its not a prestige thingy.

Egypt will be going Nuclear and is moving away from the USA-Saudi alliance.
 
I wonder what may had been the remarks, if Saudis had made same deal with US.

Very good, if it is still on track.
I assume going nuclear you mean nuclear power plants!

yes however if Saudi's get nukes then Egypt Must get them as well.
 
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 guess is 1-2 reactors coming on-stream in next 5 years, and those won't be generating much electricity either (unless Russia agrees to build another one), they will be small and built with local technology.

WIKI:
Iran is constructing a 40 MWt heavy water moderated research reactor at this location 34.3734°N 49.2408°E (Arak) which should be ready for commissioning in 2014, referred to as IR-40.[1][2]

In addition, Iran's uranium mines so far discovered do not have large reserves, and they are expensive to tap into because the percentage of uranium in the stone is very low, just a little above the level that makes it commercially viable to extract.
 
You seemed quite inspired from Saudis!

BTW.. I have lived in Egypt for one year.. which city are you from?

Saudi Arabia cannot be allowed to have Nuclear Weapons without Egypt getting them it's unacceptable their is a level of Rivalry between the Gulf Kingdom and Nationalist Egypt it still exist today. my father is from Port Said.

Rivalry?? Dude where have you been living?? Scientifically speaking Egypt and Saudi Arabia are the closest to each other. There is no rivalry.

دي مصر اشلها فوق دماغي يا راجل لكن انت نا بتعرفش عربي حتى فاحسلك ما تتكلمش.

Sure were close however if you get Nuclear Weapons then we must get them as well, In the Arab world we were always the leader, you heard there can be no War without Egypt and no Peace without Syria ? Iran gets the Bomb then Saudis will then Egypt must get them as well Mubarak started Egypt Nuclear Program.
