If this group has had enriched uranium for sale for the past sixteen years you would think that they would have sold it to North Korea or Iran a long time ago.

- goodcanadian 11y agoI don't think North Korea or Iran have much need of a single bomb's worth of enriched uranium. They have far more interest in producing their own.
- MrZongle2 11y agoIt might be of use for a couple of reasons. One, you can compare the purchased material to that which you're trying to produce. Second, with the purchased material you can assemble and test-detonate a bomb, which not only causes other countries' intelligence agencies to question the value of their sources but gives you leverage in future negotiations.
