NH #731: Iran Can Still Make Nuclear Bombs - Uranium Enrichment Dangers: Dr. Gordon Edwards

This Week’s Featured Interview:

Dr. Gordon Edwards is a mathematician, physicist, nuclear consultant, and president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. He is one of our most cogent thinkers on nuclear issues and he regularly puts together the pieces to give us a clear picture of exactly what is going on, why we should be alarmed, and what we can do about it.

Here, we discuss uranium enrichment – a “hot topic” in the wake of the US bombing of nuclear facilities in Iran. He reveals how ineffective the bombings really were – far from the “total obliteration” claimed by the Trump and echo’ed by his followers — and what level of uranium enrichment“is necessary to make a nuclear bomb. (HINT: It’s a lot less than you’ve been led to believe.). Dr. Edwards also includes a vision of how we could work create a lasting international nuclear peace and an elimination of even the possibility of creating any more nuclear weapons.
