Again I go back to the top quote, you can basically build nuclear bombs material from any power plant as long as you can either retract the fresh fuel rods. Or refine the spent fuel rods.

Light Power plants make it extremely tough to do either. to get the fresh rods, you have to pull off the massive containment lid and remove all the rods which shuts the plant down. also its very easy for Nuclear inspectors to figure out if this has been done. Its extremely expensive.

If you want to use the spent fuel rods, because of normal water use, it creates a spent rod thats not efficient for creating bomb materials because of the addition or waste products and deuterium (sp?) in the spent rods it becomes extremely expensive and time consuming and you need a massive amount of spent fuel rods to create even one bomb.

In combination with North Korea opening up their reactors to inspectors and shutting down the rest of their bomb making facilities, it shouldn't have mattered that it was a light water plant because any attempt to use it to make bomb materials would have been picked up and reported by the UN inspectors.

This is about Kim tossing out the inspectors.

Plus the bomb materials didn't come from these reactors, from my understanding they mainly created the materials from either their own home built reactors that used heavy water or the Russian created research heavy water reactor that was built decades ago when the Russians and Chinese gave Kim bomb making designs.

The light water plants that the American's sent to Kim were put in place in the hopes that Kim would shut down his own reactors and used the new ones to generate power. It wasn't part of some scheme on the American's parts to furnish NK with bomb materials.

It was more about Clinton being lazy or stupid or both, not about some doubleday plot.
