It is pretty well known that Iran’s oil reserves are at or past peak production, and they are looking forward to a time when they will loose this resource. Their interest in nuclear fission was understandable if slightly suspicious because they would soon need some an alternate means to generate electricity. Rezwan’s presentation of their fusion effort brings a new angle to this discussion. If they want electricity and will forgo bombs, then they may be heading in the right direction. A DPF installation cannot present the same threat to nearby, nervous neighbors (name starts with an “I”) that a fission installation could.
