Iran’s First Nuclear Power Plant Now Operational

Lawrence Mijares – AHN News Contributor

Bushehr, Iran (AHN) – After years of delays and postponement, Iran’s first nuclear power plant in Bushehr is now operational and will be supplying electricity to the whole of Iran.

Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s atomic energy chief, announced Saturday that the reactor was fueled and operational.

He added that all that is needed is to wait for the water in the reactor to heat up gradually and for further tests to be conducted before electricity could be supplied to Iran’s national electric grid in a month or two.

Construction on the reactor was initiated in the 1970s by Kraftwerk Union, a branch of the German company Siemens, but was halted and the contract rescinded by the Islamic revolution in 1979 and by the Iran-Iraq war.

Russians completed the reactor and were supposed to operate it in 1999 but were interrupted several times by mounting technological and financial challenges as well as by U.S. pressure.

In 2005, Russia agreed to instead supply Iran with nuclear power and take back all spent reactor fuel to enable the International Atomic Energy Agency to inspect the plant and assure that the nuclear waste wouldn’t be diverted elsewhere.

The first batch of nuclear fuel was delivered by Russia in 2007. It remains to be seen how the spent nuclear waste will be disposed of, or how operators might deal with the possible threat of a new computer virus attack similar to the sophisticated Stuxnet worm that was widely believed to have stalled the Iranian nuclear plant in recent months.

Daily TWiP – The Morris worm, one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet, is unleashed today in 1988

Welcome to Daily TWiP, your daily dose of all the holidays and history we couldn’t cram into The Week in Preview. Once upon a time, users were able to connect to the Internet without fear of viruses, worms, and other pesky critters infesting their computers. That sense of security was unfortunately short-lived and began to crumble today (Nov. 2) in 1988, when the Morris worm, one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet, was released. The Morris worm was designed by Robert Tappan Morris, then a graduate student at Cornell University. It was intended to be an innocuous little program that would count how many computers were connected to the Internet, spreading between computers through vulnerabilities found in Unix sendmail and Finger network service and created by weak passwords.

Read This First Before Starting An Internet Business

I would like to take this opportunity to offer a few observations regarding starting an Internet business. Most people only get one side of the story because they do not spend much time researching exactly what it takes to make money online.

 

1. The only way to make money with an Internet business is to sell something. This sounds easy enough to do, but in reality getting someone to open their checkbooks and give you money is harder to do than you might think.

 

There are skills to this and most Internet marketers do not master the skills. Therefore they have a failing Internet business almost before they even get started.

 

2. The skills I’m talking about are fairly comprehensive. A handful of these include building a website, driving traffic to your website, targeting a market where people are spending money, capturing e-mail addresses for future follow up, social media, and much more.

 

One trick is to master one form of Internet marketing and outsource some of the others. This makes sense because it’s fairly inexpensive to pay people to do things for you online today. 

 

Plus as you get more into your Internet business you will find there are some things you do not enjoy doing. These are the type of things you want to outsource if you can.

 

3. The Internet is forgiving when it comes to time and money. For example you may have more time to invest into your Internet business than you do money when you first start out. 

 

An example of this would be if you choose to promote your business with article marketing. You can automate much of this process by paying someone to write articles for you, and then using a submission company to get your articles online.

 

If money is an issue with you would have to write the articles and then submit them manually yourself. This is okay it just takes you more time, but you can still end up with the same result.

 

4. Focus on one form of driving meaningful traffic to your website. In reality it could take you several hundred hours to learn how to master one for my promoting your Internet business. Most people miss this point and try multiple ways of getting traffic. They never end up getting much of anything.

 

This is a few tips to keep in mind before starting an Internet business. If you are willing to work smart the Internet can be a great way to make money.
