Argentina refuses to inform Paraguay on a nuclear reactor it is planning along the border
The administration of President Cristina Fernandez rejected a request from Paraguay on the nuclear plant, and area of influence, Argentina plans to build in the neighbouring province of Formosa. The situation was exposed by Paraguayan lawmaker Olga Ferreira de Lopez who called the Argentine president a ‘perverse woman’. Read full article

So what have we had so far?
“Old hag”

Let us not forget that the Argentine state of Formosa was once part of Paraguay,forcibly wrenched from them in 1870,glasshouses and stones come to mind.

all show that the more powerful win against the less powerful owners of the territories.
At least Argentina, Brasil and Uruguay had the excuse that Paraguay attacked them first.
Sellafield - objections by Irish, Manx and Norwegian governments ignored. glasshouses and stones.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, Argentina, give back the the land that you stole from Paraguay in 1870.

Jul 23rd, 2013 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are right of course Geoff,but I have seen no evidence that a group of islands 300+ miles from Patagonia(which in the 1830,s was not part Argentina,not that
Argentina existed at that time!)was then nor ever could be part of Argentina,s
“territorial integrity”
How odd, I think Paraguay should shut off the electricity to Arg until they get all the info they want plus the back payments owed.

Hmm Argie-built reactors have a tendency to malfunction too... Popcorn at the ready for when the radioactive mutant zombies advance on the Casa Rosada.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 11:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0For a supposedly peaceful people opposed to the nuclearisation of the region, Argentina seems to be building up quite a large supply of fissionable material.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 12:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 Except that the ”Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland and An Garda Síochána (Irish Police Force) are now allowed access to the site“. And the ”Irish and Manx governments have collaborated on this issue, and brought it to the attention of the British-Irish Council.” Bit different to refusing any information. Why DO you lie? Never mind, Paraguay, do what Israel does. Bomb it!

Jul 23rd, 2013 - 02:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't think Paraguay has much to be worried about to be honest Argentina can 'plan' a lot of things at the moment. I very much doubt they have enough money to actually carry out these plans.

That certain agreements were reached post-construction does not constitute me lying.
Of course anyone disagreeing with you must be lying. Naturally.
Perhaps Paraguay will allow NATO to set up a base on their territory. Argentina won't mind, I mean it would be none of their business even if BA came within range.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder what preportion of the remaining Amerindian population of 'Argentina' would be affected when this thing melts down (assuming threy get it built in the first place)?

Jul 23rd, 2013 - 04:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I will list all the hypocrisies thus far, as you guys seem bent on beating the world record of hypocrisies within 12 hours:
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 05:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0-1. Uruguay had no duty to inform Argentina about Botnia, but now Argentina has a duty to inform Paraguay over this.
-2. The USA must not return California and Arizona to Mexico, but Argentina must return Formosa and Chaco.
-3. Because other countries disagree with Argentina there is no SA unity, but when the whole of Europe disagrees with the UK it is not a sign of disunity.
-4. Paraguay should shut off power to ARG, (and not go broke), but China can't shut off the credit card to the USA (without going broke).
-5. Argie reactors melt down (never happened), but Three Mile island, Fukushima, and the French reactor just some months ago were “controled first world experiments”.
-6. Argentina is a violator of human rights by testing fissile material on Qom land, but the Americans are champions of the donwtrodden by testing nukes in Navajo ancestral land.
-7. Argentina has no money to spend, but the UK runs a surplus budget and can throw money to the heavens.
I think the record for hypocrisies is 16. You are ten away from the record and have 5 hours left. You can do it Hyps!
I was going to comment on the lamentable construction standards applied by The Dark Country to their reactors but instead a lighter note:
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 05:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Please look at the photograph and imagine what TMBOA is saying:
“As long as it is not bigger than this, I can get it into my mouth”
I wonder what she can be talking about. :o)
First of all, Formosa and Chaco have never been officially part of Paraguay. These were provinces (actually they were not provinces at that time) under dispute since both Argentina and Paraguay belonged to the very same political union (Virreinato del Rio de La Plata). In addition Argentina refused to recognize Paraguayan independence while Paraguay did not recognize Argentina.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Triple Alianza war was held by four countries, on the one side were Brazil, Uruguay and Argntina, that were democracies while. on the other side was Paraguay ruled by a cruel dictatorship who even performed massive executions.agaisnt his own people and even his own family. In addition Solano Lima inherited the Presidency as if he were a King. He was clearly a bloody dictator.
UK, helped both contenders, the Triple Alianza and Paraguay, with loans and weapons.
The war started when Paraguay invaded part of the Argentine territory (territory that was not under dispute) in its path to attack Uruguay. So, the war was clearly started by Solano Lima but he expected that Argetina won't take part in the war.
Argentina has not funds to start a new nuclear project currently. In fact, Atucha II is not finished yet. Anyway, the Argentine program is one of the most safe in the World since not a single incident ever happened.
CFK should inform Paraguay about the planned new plant but there are an economic issue because Paraguay provides Argentina with electricity so any Argentine investment to increase its production will alway be questioned by Paraguay as a way of protect their income.
Argentina refuses to inform Paraguay on a nuclear reactor,
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yep,
And this same evil hypercrit demands a nuclear Atlantic..
Still,
If it goes bang, better it comes from them, is it not lol.

“UK, helped both contenders, the Triple Alianza and Paraguay, with loans and weapons.”
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 06:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are not suggesting the UK played both sides to make money in a war, right? That would NEVER happen.
According to British “history” books, only Argentina would do that, like in WWII.
Btw, they just banned an apparently very famous US sports player for drugs and doping.
I wonder if the USA has ever one anything in sport with clean athletes... I really doubt it.

I hope it lasts 3 weeks
I can smell the grid burning from here.
Didn't the USA let some 200 people die a few years back in the middle of your economic meltdown because they could not swallow their pride and allow Venezuela to supply fuel to the poor?
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 06:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0How nice.
not suggesting anything. I'm just saying. At that time Solano Lopez get plenty of militar assistance from european countries such as the UK and Germany. An from the US too.
Jul 23rd, 2013 - 06:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But as the Triple Alianza has the best chances to win the war plenty of private credit loans were awarded to both, Argentina and Brazil.
The war was territorially more beneficial for Brazil but it was economically for Argentina since it supplied the Brazilian army with food. As a result the Argentina developed its livestock industry and it became a great food exporter. It was a terrible war for Paraguay who suffered large number of loses.
No matter this revisionists want to show the war as a kind of criminal action from lead by liberal politicians (Mitre and Sarmiento were the Argentine presidents) to crush a national and popular government (Solano Lopez). Typical peronist and fascists delusions......
Argentina wants to go nuclear!! ummm

Jul 23rd, 2013 - 11:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0you forgot to mention that:
“The OPAL reactor already has received seven awards in Australia.”
and
“To solve the dilution problem, further pressure testing is required followed by approval of the INVAP-recommended remedy by ANSTO, and if necessary by ARPANSA. Whilst the dilution issue does not affect safety or operation, if left un-repaired it would ultimately affect the performance of the reactor.”
”“Given that this problem has only affected those elements which had been in the reactor for the shortest period of time, it is expected that, subject to safety assessments and regulatory approvals, new fuel elements can be utilised to enable operation to recommence.”
http://www.ansto.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/16201/Reactor_shutdown.pdf
there was never any risk of a meltdown; and the australians consulted with the INVAP a solution to their problem.
try again?
“Today, whatever money they have budgeted, it runs out in two months,” Oscar Gomez said, citing inflation and the parallel exchange rate, among other factors. “Everything's working against Argentina. There's no investment today because there's nothing in it for anybody.”

Jul 24th, 2013 - 06:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0First Argentina is broke. They don't have the money to build nothing and can't borrow the money either. And who would run the risk of investing when nationalisation is the name of the game.
Secondly they build dodgy reactors as Australia unfortunately found out; more so now considering their recent lack of investment in education, infrastructure and manufacturing.
Argentina has faded glory. It's best days are far behind it or a longtime in the future. But definitely not now.

Jul 24th, 2013 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You really don't understand the IMPLICATIONS for the design balls-up do you.
The Dark Country, supposedly “experts” in non-power nuclear reactor design, how come they fucked up by underestimating the cooling water pressure on and IN the fuel cages, FFS! Try reading the actual scientific papers on the cock-up if you can understand them. Relying on a pressed knock out tab to stop everything flowing in the direction of the cooling water was a schoolboy error. No professional engineer would even consider it.
Can you imagine ANY future potential customer is going to overlook this basic error, one which NEEDED the Australians to find it AND help in the redesign to make it safe, is going to actually BUY this shit do you? North Korea perhaps, but nobody with a brain.

I wonder if when she called Cristina “perverse”, this Olga was following her leader Cartes who sees gays as such an abomination he would rather shoot off his own balls than accept a gay son. Not that she's calling Cristina gay of course; just that she's a progressive is bad enough for these regressive mindsets. In the context of a recent clash of personalities on this subject in Africa, we can say that Cristina is Desmond Tutu and Paraguay is Robert Mugabe! To me its the hard right, isolationist Paraguay regime that's perverse, it should stop being a coup ridden catspaw of reaction and then it will surely be consulted by its neighbours on these kind of things; seems a bit rich for it to complain about individual cases given the context of the breakdown of relations...
