Another Country wants into the Club

The still small club of nations with nuclear power plants (and the potential to provide material for nuclear weapons) has one more potential entrant.

I have trouble believing that these developments will lead to anything good. If they follow the Brazilian model of development, allow frequent, full and free access for international inspectors, and develop power plants that don't produce weaponizeable material then this will be OK. But, Chavez is just the kind to play games and use nuclear power generation as a threat and negotiating tool on the world stage. That would be unacceptable and must be thwarted.

(but Pat Robertson's still an idiot for calling for Chavez's death)
