The village was destroyed Tadjourah used for civilian purposes nuclear reactor. Libya bombed the largest in the Institute of Cardiology, where he treated children. "He broke down the roof, bearing walls, fragments of projectiles and hit the doors and windows in a small body of our unfortunate patients, their mother died with them" - Learn from Russian doctors.
The north African country already has a Russian 10 MWt research reactor, which has been operating since 1981 and is under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. France, Argentina, Ukraine and Russia have all signed agreements on the peaceful use of nuclear energy with Libya since its voluntary decision to halt a clandestine uranium enrichment program and fully open itself to IAEA inspections in 2003. Canada has also signed a memorandum of understanding with the country.
Tajoura is a city in Libya, in the Tajura Wa Al Nawahi AlArba' Municipality. It is the center of Libya's nuclear research, with a 10 megawatt reactor beginning use in 1983.
A common design (67 units) is the pool type reactor, where the core is a cluster of fuel elements sitting in a large pool of water. Among the fuel elements are control rods and empty channels for experimental materials. Each element comprises several (e.g. 18) curved aluminium-clad fuel plates in a vertical box. The water both moderates and cools the reactor, and graphite or beryllium is generally used for the reflector, although other materials may also be used. Apertures to access the neutron beams are set in the wall of the pool.

dual purpose nuke plant and cardiology office? Hmmm.
Sad about the bombing but Libya needs to be stripped of its nuclear capabilities now, along with Egypt if they have it, while we can do it.edit on 4-4-2011 by Volund because: Not a power plant

I have only one question: why would one of the world's major oil suppliers need a nuclear reactor?
Research reactors have a wide range of uses, including analysis and testing of materials, and production of radioisotopes. Their capabilities are applied in many fields, within the nuclear industry as well as in fusion research, environmental science, advanced materials development, drug design and nuclear medicine.

Seriously. This is sick. Japan's nuclear catastrophe wasn't enough?

The article isn't very clear...but it seems to say that the center for nuclear research with the nuclear research reactor has been destroyed.
And Libya does indeed have a nuclear reactor.
Libya moving forward with nuclear power plans

It's a pool-type reactor.

And of course, there's almost NO CHANCES you'll EVER see that on western MSM.edit on 4-4-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)edit on 4-4-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)edit on 4-4-2011 by Vitchilo because: (no reason given)
If our forces have taken out this reactor it suggest that we didn't believe that he had done so.
