Russia warns of an Iranian Chernobyl.....
Stuxnet should get the 2011 Nobel Peace Price...
Russian nuclear scientists are providing technical assistance to Iran's attempts activate the country's first nuclear power plant at the Gulf port.
But they have raised serious concerns about the extensive damage caused to the plant's computer systems by the mysterious Stuxnet virus, which was discovered last year and is widely believed to have been the result of a sophisticated joint US-Israeli cyber attack.
According to Western intelligence reports, Russian scientists warned the Kremlin that they could be facing "another Chernobyl" if they were forced to comply with Iran's tight deadline to activate the complex this summer.

Another Chernobyl couldn't happen in a better place.
I was in the UK when Chenobyl happened the monitoring and restrictions on the sale of livestock were still in hand 10 years later, when I was receiving reports.
Depending on the winds the fall out in this case could hit, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Syria, Jordan etc. A long, cold, expensive winter would be our reward if radiation levels created no go zones close to oilfields.
The refugees would add to an already messed up Afghanistan - Iraq issue.
Another Chernobyl would not just cause problems in Iran. Be careful what you wish for.
