Anand welcomes Turkish counterpart as two countries explore nuclear deal
For the record – back in the 60s or so, Canada did the same with a little place called India. And India promptly used the first reactor we built for them to develop their own nuclear weapons program. They have since iterated out their own version of the CANDU since we decided them building nukes with our tech wasn’t nice and sanctioned them for years. They said, “Thanks for the tech, and we’re going to keep building nukes, thank you very much.”
And since India built a nuclear weapon, Pakistan decided it needed its own. And they did. Then in 1998, both nations set off test bombs, after the first set in the 60s or 70s or so.
So your mileage may vary.

“since we decided them building nukes with our tech wasn’t nice”
Nice?
I have often wondered if twasn’t a matter of sharing a long long border with a Nuclear Armed Communist China?
Seems even then the Canadian government was siding with CChina.
Nuclear proliferation? Pull the other one.
Building highways in the north. Because Red China needs better access to the resources.
Nailed it!
Elbows OUT to Trump’s USA … palms up, kneeling before Xi’s Communist China.
Transport Minister (and moron) Steven MacKinnon:
… “We all know that the North is central to Canada’s economic future.”
Nothing they say is real, let alone true.
Much like all men hired for any ads sitcoms movies
really are that stupid because of the pool they’re selected from;
marxists can only work with the simple minded.
And thanks for that little nuclear history lesson on the Liberal Party of Canada’s 60 year old DEI policy of
Fair Armaments for the Globe (FAG). Their suicidal anti-Americanism certainly goes back a long ways.
It truly is suicidal, and thank goodness. The USA will only put up with so much assistance to China from an adjacent country before it interjects it’s controlling interest in North America. Can you imagine the sheer joy of so many silent Canadians when the US sweeps this corrupt government from the face of the earth?
I’d bet a million USD Liberals knew full well what the Indians were going to do with the nuke tech.
As for the nuclear repository, they’ve been storing waste since the ’40’s.
I didn’t know that Canada gave India the means to produce nuclear weapons. Thanks for the info, Brian.
Looking into it now, it seems that the CANDU is no longer the darling of the nuclear power community. Enrichment is now much cheaper and easier to achieve, and the CANDU design is overly complex (and expensive) compared to LWRs.
Yeah, for most of the history of nuclear weapons, the flashpoint of a likely nuclear exchange was India/Pakistan. And India absolutely got the material because we provided them with the CANDU which actually works out pretty well for making the stuff to make weapons cores. It’s a thing most people don’t talk about. So now Turkey will have its turn. Brilliant.
True. The CANDU reactor makes plutonium as a by product. Voila, instant bomb. Maybe Israel will do a Gerald Bull on those people that are considered as a threat.
rumour is its da joos that did a gerald bull on gerald bull.
unfortunate he cdnt find a more protective buyer for his gun technology,
and regarding the candu.
whaalll shyt. lied to agin. l read 5 decades ago they were of a design terrible for bomb fuel production. now its well, except for plutonium. crikey cant trust anybody ever.
L – Turkey, a member of NATO, because they control the entrance to the Black Sea. Their current government is M.B. and has the largest armed forces in Europe. They have a thriving tourist industry with close and cheap access to a wam and sunny Mediterranean vacation, for Brits and Northern Europeans
Will it, the leftover remnant of the Old Ottoman Caliphate, lust after yet, another attempt at conquering Europe…? Not likely to act , until the E.U. Muslim population range favour’s them. It will depend on how weak the E.U.NATO is then.
They did buy black market oil from the Islamic State, until the first Trump administration came into power and crushed it.
Kan the Paki father of their nuclear bomba learned his trade in the EU, netherlands specifically.The ‘west’ leaks info like a siev
Khan, A.Q. Khan.
Can’t spell a four letter name, ffs. Germany and Belgium too dimwit.
antoff fukk off
Aahahaha GYM more four letter words you can’t spell. Go suck a bag of dicks.
“The ‘west’ leaks info like a siev…”
That would be a sieve. And you’re wrong, they don’t “leak” it. They actively give it away. Like a fire hose.
It’s a policy, not a mistake. Enemies inside the walls are the worst kind.
I’m old enough to remember when Clinton gave MIRV technology to the Chicoms. On a plate, pretty much.
GYM’s Depends leak like a sieve, because he’s full of shit.

The best part: Indira Gandhi was prime minister. The Op was called “smiling Buddha”. This can go in the “if women ran the world” category.
Vancouver condo developer banks bailout.
Nuclear proliferation with Islamist nation.
Both popularly unacceptable imho.
Anything else?
The summer hideout list is off to a rousing start.
Erdogan is an Islamist.
He hates Christians, he reviles Jews – but he’s scared shitless of Israel.
And he doesn’t like that Israel is the only country in the area with nukes.
He wants his own – that’s quite obvious.
From what I’ve quickly read, the Israelis are obviously not impressed.
But I doubt they’re surprised considering the anti-Israel sentiment in Ottawa.
The Liberals make waving the flag more like heaving an anchor weighted by 2 tons of despair and 3 of embarrassment.
“But I doubt they’re surprised considering the anti-Israel sentiment in Ottawa.”
It’d be a cryin’ shame if Turkey paid Canada a cubic f-ton of money for a Candu and then the eeeevile Israelis dropped a couple dozen JDAMS on it right before it started up.
But it does make one wonder what the f- they’re thinking, in Ottawa. Seriously, Edrogan’s Turkey? That’s not a good plan.
Doesn’t matter. When the Muslims take over France and the UK, they’ll have all the nukes they need.
England doesn’t even have a fricking Navy anymore. Do they still have nukes that work? Did the Frogs -ever- have nukes that worked?
If you say so.
The frogs? Dunno. The Uk’s nukes have to be armed by the Americans, so they have nukes if the US allows them to.
You can’t make nuclear weapons fuel in a CANDU reactor.
“You can’t make nuclear weapons fuel in a CANDU reactor.”
Yet India did exactly that with the CANDU reactor Canada sold them.
Supposedly it was from the CIRUS research reactor using somewhere between 6 to 8 kg of plutonium, for their “Peaceful Nuclear Explosion” for civil engineering purposes, after they were sold reprocessing technology.
Yup…you don’t enrich plutonium with a centrifuge like uranium, you ‘separate’ it with lasers, chemical and/or magnetic methods. Not easy, not cheap, but quite feasible if that is your only means of weapons-grade plutonium production.
“In October 2011, the Canadian Federal Government licensed the CANDU design to Candu Energy (a wholly owned subsidiary of SNC-Lavalin,…”
So we can rest assured everything is above board. Feel better now?
And…
“CANDU 6 units were built in Quebec and New Brunswick, as well as Pakistan, Argentina, South Korea, Romania, and China.”
Get that? China. So a big shrug I guess as far as Turkey is concerned.
