IRAN RESUMES NUCLEAR PROGRAM

Iran has broken the seals at a uranium enrichment plant and said it was resuming nuclear research after a two-year freeze. Enriched uranium can be used as a fuel for both nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is only for fuel, but leaders in Germany, France and Great Britain are skeptical, and want the UN Security Council to take up the matter. The Security Council has the power to impose sanctions. Larry Mantle talks with Jim Walsh, Executive Director of Harvard’s Managing the Atom Project and Najm Meshkati, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at USC.
