The Debka File<\/a> released a report today that there had been an explosion<\/a> at Iran<\/a>‘s Arak heavy water reactor<\/a> last week. The government of Iran had attempted to keep the news of the explosion quiet.<\/p>\n

The article reports that the Iranian Atomic Council is investigating four possible causes of the explosion:<\/p>\n

1. Sabotage.<\/strong>
\n2. A virus planted in the computers that control the systems administering the test.<\/strong>
\n3. An error in engineering calculations in the design of the coolant containers which underestimated their strength for standing up to the required level of pressure.<\/strong>
\n4.\u00a0 The deliberate sale to Iran of inferior steel materials that were not strong enough to withstand such pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Last August, Iran informed the nuclear watchdog that the test with real fuel would\u00a0be\u00a0the final one before the reactor entered its running-in stage. The damage caused by the explosion will have postponed that stage indefinitely.<\/strong>
\n The Arak reactor, known as IR-40<\/a> and designed for a capacity of 40 megawatt, is the cause of deep concern in Israel<\/a> because it is capable of producing plutonium for use in nuclear bombs<\/a> as an alternative to enriched uranium<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously I have no idea what caused this explosion. What I do know is that explosions at reactor sites are a much better way to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons that an actual attack on Iran.<\/p>\n
