Now Iran is pushing ahead on another nuclear track:

As the U.S. and Europe struggle to stop Iran’s uranium development, the Iranians are pushing ahead on another track that could also lead to a nuclear bomb — construction of a heavy-water reactor that can produce weapons-grade plutonium.

It will take at least another four years for Iran to complete the reactor, making it a less immediate worry for the West than the uranium program, parts of which are either in operation or ready to go at a moment’s notice.

But ultimately, the heavy-water reactor could prove more dangerous, since bombs made with plutonium are smaller and easier to fit onto a ballistic missile.

In a comprehensive package aimed at reining in Iran’s nuclear program, Europe proposed that it give up the heavy-water project in return for a light-water reactor, seen by arms control experts as easier to monitor to ensure it’s not being used for weapons.

Iran — which says its nuclear program is peaceful — rejected the entire package this week. The head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization called the heavy-water reactor offer a “joke.”
