Clean up after a few years

Fredrick Fleitigen and Yousif Bassil for CNN wrote a story about Iraqi technicians dismounting Saddam’s nuclear plants. Radioactivity still lingers even though nuclear efforts are being dismantled (1). There is an eleven mile complex that was found in 2003(2). It has been bombed twice (2). Extensive contamination complicates clean up project (3). A decision was made to decontaminate all destroyed facilities (4). Workers are required to wear protection (5). It could take a decade to clean up (5). There are ten facilities like this in Iraq (6). Soviets built reactor in 1960(7). Concerned Israel striked facility in 1981 (7). Iraq still enriched uranium despite damage done (8). Gulf war caused more damage (9). More damage was done when locals looted during U.S. accusations of restart of nuclear restart (10). U.S. transported remaining uranium to Canada (11). Some scientists want to start nuclear power program (12).

Saddam was a crazy dude. Why would a person start nuclear programs after getting bombed. It wouldn’t be a good idea for scientists to start nuclear power programs. They would constantly be surveyed. Suspicion of weapons would still be present.
