| 0:00.0 | This is the |
| 0:05.0 | CBSI and the world. I'm John Bachelor welcoming Henry Sikalski, the executive |
| 0:10.0 | director of the Non-Proliferation Policy Education Center. |
| 0:13.0 | Raphael Grosy is the head of the IAEA, the UN Watchdog for Nuclear Perliferation |
| 0:19.8 | and its violators. Speaking at Cop 28 in Dubai, a Petrostate, RNA enough there. |
| 0:27.0 | Mr. Grocy is speaking very positively of the answer for sustainable energy, the answer for climate change, and the answer for |
| 0:37.6 | doing away with the products of Petrostates is nuclear nuclear energy nuclear power plants. Henry, a very good evening to you. |
| 0:46.2 | This is an old idea that suddenly knew again in Mr. Grocy's mind. |
| 0:51.4 | What do we know about nuclear power plants and what becomes of them in time in all the |
| 0:57.0 | states that have practiced this idea that nuclear energy is the future? |
| 1:01.3 | Good evening to you. |
| 1:02.3 | Good evening. Short answer is if you put reactors in the wrong place and we've done it, you get a bomb. |

| 1:41.0 | You need to be careful where you put these things. And I don't think it's smart |
| 1:47.0 | to put them in the Middle East. Now, again, to his credit, he says the Middle East could be a challenge, but you don't get the sense that he would ever say no |
| 1:58.3 | Trouble ahead why when you have a nuclear peaceful plant that's even safeguarded as they did in Iran, |
| 2:06.0 | what do you get? Oh, well they use Boushear in this case, Boushear Power Station, peaceful, safeguarded as an acquisition front and they did. |
| 2:18.2 | I learned about this when I served on a commission where we had the highest level of classifications and we found out that they |
| 2:26.2 | use Bousheer as a purchasing agent for everything that went into the bomb project in Iran and bad news. |
| 2:36.4 | We found out about it after all the stuff had arrived. |
| 2:40.3 | This is a pattern and therefore the idea that you can have your peaceful nuclear energy in a troublesome place without the prospect of a nuclear weapon is, I think, historically delusional. |
