Current Events » in reply to Yellowcake in Rotterdam Harbor May Be From Iraq

Yawn

Much ado about nothing...typical FOX NEws yellowcake journalism. Here are some key quotes from that article:

"Nuclear experts say that although not highly radioactive, uranium oxide can be processed into enriched uranium usable in a nuclear weapon -- but highly advanced technology is needed."

"Environment ministry spokesman Wim van der Weegen said scrap metal companies in the Rotterdam port, which is Europe's largest, report around 200 findings of radioactive material per year, often from old hospital equipment or normal industrial uses."

"Experts said that around 2 pounds of yellowcake, the amount found, would not be useful for either a bomb or fuel."

"Anybody can dig it up and purify it to make the yellow stuff"

"He said it wasn't yet known where the yellowcake originated."

"It could be from anywhere in the world."
