Been a long time since Chavez has been in the news.
Hes made a trade agreement with Iran for Uranium mining technology. 20,000 BBL of refined gasoline (not crude) per day to help them find and probably refine Uranium.
I guess the secret is out, centrifuges are slow and boring. Aluminum thermite to force oxygen out of Uranium oxide seems to be chick nowadays (for those who can't bother to actually make breeder reactors)
IMO, its only a matter of about 50 years to a century before a majority of countries in the world will have the capacity to make nukes.
