Bushehr.

This is coolbert:

As of yesterday - - 21 August 2010 - - the Iranian nuclear reactor at Bushehr is now fueled and active?

And NOW, immune from attack by the Israeli Air Force or any other military for that matter?

From the DEBKAfile "weekly summary":

"16 Aug. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin decided it was safe to go ahead and load Iran's first nuclear reactor with fuel on Aug. 21 - effectively making it active - after the US and Israel did not seem troubled by the prospect of the reactor going on stream"

Because the reactor is now fueled and active:

"Bushehr will be immune from attack because of the risk of spreading radiation '…once it has gone critical, any attempt to do so (attack the reactor) would risk the release of a radioactive plume that might kill civilians and poison surrounding areas.'"

Keep in mind that a critical factor in the decision by the Israeli prior to the attack [1981] on the Iraqi Osirak reactor by F-16 fighter-bombers was THAT OSIRAK WAS ON THE VERGE OF BEING FUELED!

The Bushehr facility - - EVEN IF TOTALLY 100 % DEDICATED TO THE PEACEFUL USE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY - - WILL PRODUCE FISSIONABLE PLUTONIUM AS PART OF THE PROCESS. FUEL RODS OF THE REACTOR FROM WHICH CAN BE EXTRACTED NUCLEAR BOMB-MAKING MATERIAL!

The date for action against Bushehr has now come and passed!!
