[QUOTE="Commercial Inside Release, post: 5894477, member: 93336"] For decades during the cold war, part of the spying programs were observation of activities by satelitte and analysis of the resulting photos. If you build a uranium enrichment facility, or start carting around ICBM tubes in the open, you would be spotted. One way to hide the enrichment program was to hide it in a nuclear reactor, or a fake one. Also, a lot of spies look and act just like private citizens, so the cover of a nuclear reactor keeps them well away, so they can't photograph proof. The USA is paranoid about this subject, because the Russians were doing it for years... Later, in order to play catch up on the *real* numbers of ICBM inventory, it is understood that the US may have started doing likewise. This is still an ongoing battle between countries, and the reason the US is paranoid about the Iranian (and previously Iraqi under Saddam) nuclear activities. It is also part of the reason North Korea has been completely dark at night for decades. A little over a year ago, North Korea had a brightly lit nighttime parade, where they displayed enough ICBMs to overwhelm US defenses, in a preemptive or retaliatory strike. [/QUOTE]
