the six party talks completely fall apart. the obama administration has been offering iran the ability, a brand-new proposal, weaker than the u.n. s proposal and idea that they could enrich some ooh rain yan and still be allowed to have international approval of that. that is a weaker position than the u.n. we have a serious problem in iran and our media is completely focused on the fact that we are hearing bluster there the north korean as. rick: you have to think that ahmadinejad is taking advantage of that. you can put it on the calendar every single year probably for the next 20 years that there are going to be hostilities and threats and this bell bell belacose coming out of north korea. he probably sent a thank you note to kim jong un. thanks for having all the attention on you, i m going to keep enriching ooh rain kwrufplt north korea has sold its technology to iran. we know there is a connection
korea to have nuclear weapons, but frankly for 20 years it has failed to do what it alone can do to stop it. the idea that we are going to negotiate with north korea over this has been a delusion for a longtime. bill: one more question on this. you say it s important to understand whether it s plutonium or ooh rain yan. what is the difference? the north korean as have been use -d plutonium in their first new tests reprocessed from their reactor. many believe they are running out of plutonium. they have had a substantial uranium enrichment program for ten years. if leaks from gases from this test show that it was uranium based that will demonstrate that they have enriched uranium to weapons grade levels and have successfully tested it. that would be a big breakthrough with potential implications for iran as well. bill: one question on benghazi. this came out of the hearing at the end of last week, the amount of contact or lack there of that
negotiations? is there actual room to negotiate? well, i do think there is room to negotiate. i think the concern here, and i think it s shared also widely in washington is that while sanctions have been escalating over the past few months the demands on the iranians have actually been diminishing. a few months ago they were very clear that all enrichment must stop, they must ship out all of their enriched uranium and dismantle their facilities. a few months later those demands have weakened. we are talking about 20% of enrichment of ooh rain yan, moving 20% stockpiles out and closing maybe even short term the facility. the iranians have been very good in weak evening the p5 plus one demands despite the fact that sanctions have been increasing. jenna: interesting. you know, one of the things we wanted to talk about with you is i know you ve traveled all over
not give this enemy of ours a true deadline after which we would say, you know, all b, terbgs s are off? i m not a political adviser but it s an election year. that s probably the primary issue that kind of runs across all of this. clearly there needs to be a deadline. the challenge that we have is we don t know where iran is inside those facilities, in terms of centrifuge production, highly enriched, low enriched you re rain yan, to highly enriched ooh rain yan, how is that progressing. we have to assume the worst. iran has tremendous natural gas as well as oil. why do they need peaceful nuke capability. we have to assume this development is for military purposes. martha: always good to see you. thank you. gregg: a family is outraged after getting kicked off a fig fight. wait until you hear the captain told the couple and their little girl they had to go.
hazards, two main types of hazards we have to be concerned about, or they have to be concerned about, the heroic workers. one is exposed nuclear fuel, either the fuel in the reactor course or the spent fuel pools. when they become exposed you can start to have blistering and break down of the fuel and even a meltdown of that fuel, see that can release radiation. that s one effect. the second effect you re referring to, once the material starts to meltdown and then it resolidifies, the ooh rain yan and plutonium in that spent fuel, when it s recongealed it can get concentrated. when you put water back in the water can in effect reignite and cause a criticality accident. jenna: it s so incredibly complicatcomplicated. just as an expert what would you say we ve learned so far.
