the beach front property...oh wait...that's Germany's now

 

The island right off the beach front proper....oh wait...Warren Buffet owns that one now...

Oh, I know...that other island right next to...shit...Johnny Depp scooped that one up the other day.

Fuck...They ain't got nothing left but some busted up old ruins. 

Oh...what about the airpor...oops...that's right...Germany again.  Drat!

Hardly. What part of "everyone was promised that a "No" would not cause a Grexit" is so hard to comprehend? Apparently, for 52 ignorant upvoters, all of it.

It provided just another instance, in a long line of examples, that you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

How many people on Earth know the difference between a Uranium nuclear reactor that produces a weapons grade byproduct and a Thorium nuclear reactor that has no radioactive byproduct and is safe?

If you can control the dialogue you can control the context in which nuclear reactors are discussed.

Today, brainwashed people are talking and thinking about nuclear power only in one context, and that is, weapons grade nuclear and dangerous nuclear reactors in populated areas.

Has anyone ever heard of a deal for Iran for a safe Thorium nuclear reactor to produce electricity with no dangerous weapons grade byproduct?

American and the rest of the world are so propagandized and brainwashed stupid they do not ever realize it. Slick! Huh!

You will have to be more articulate than what you pretend that you are. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Elaborate on what the byproduct for a Thorium nuclear reactor is actually.

"Thorium cannot in itself power a reactor; unlike natural uranium, it does not contain enough fissile material to initiate a nuclear chain reaction. As a result it must first be bombarded with neutrons to produce the highly radioactive isotope uranium-233 – 'so these are really U-233 reactors,' says Karamoskos.

"This isotope is more hazardous than the U-235 used in conventional reactors, he adds, because it produces U-232 as a side effect (half life: 160,000 years), on top of familiar fission by-products such as technetium-99 (half life: up to 300,000 years) and iodine-129 (half life: 15.7 million years).Add in actinides such as protactinium-231 (half life: 33,000 years) and it soon becomes apparent that thorium's superficial cleanliness will still depend on digging some pretty deep holes to bury the highly radioactive waste."

  • Breeding in a thermal neutron spectrum is slow and requires extensive reprocessing. The feasibility of reprocessing is still open.[30]
  • Significant and expensive testing, analysis and licensing work is first required, requiring business and government support.[17] According to a 2012 report by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, about using thorium fuel with existing water-cooled reactors, it would "require too great an investment and provide no clear payoff," noting that "from the utilities’ point of view, the only legitimate driver capable of motivating pursuit of thorium is economics."[29]
  • There is a higher cost of fuel fabrication and reprocessing than those that use traditional solid fuel rods.[17]
  • Thorium, when being irradiated for use in reactors, will make uranium-232, which is very dangerous due to the gamma rays it emits. This irradiation process may be able to be altered slightly by removing protactinium-233. The irradiation would then make uranium-233 in lieu of uranium-232, which can be used in nuclear weapons to make thorium into a dual purpose fuel.[31]

How many people know the difference between U-235 and U-233? Those who can answer your question are fewer than those who can answer mine.

And somehow I can't see Iran, thoroughly Islamic as it is, using an element named after someone else's pagan god.

Apropos Delphi: 

The deal isn't done yet. 

Something tells me, that the Schäuble-Show isn't over yet.

Anyway: This deal wouldn't be possible if the German elections wouldn't be only in autumn 2017. Until spring 2017 we will see a race between the German government-gangsters against the half-life periods of their own voters/taxpayers horizons of remembrance to take them away as many billions as possible until the hot election campaigne starts.
