Only one? No, Spain developed Nuclear Weapons years before
Spain´s first Nuclear power plant was built in 1959 and soon another eight more followed. Franco supported clearly the Spanish nuclear program and it was well developed when democracy arrived in 1975, after Fraco´s death.

The testing place would be the Western Sahara, by then an Spanish colony. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.147.235.212 (talk) 02:29, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your comment. Personally, I have never heard about this before. Would you be so kind to find a proper source for that information, so that it can be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.127.127.41 (talk) 14:56, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

But in the 80'they were ready to build a nuclear bomb and missile too. The inspectors confirmed that part. The argentina never build it, but they have the resourses, the knowledge and the facilities to do it. Now they get energy from 2 nuclear plants. Most of the people only speak about atucha I (and the II that´s under construction) But there is another small one working in imbalsado. They build with their own tecnology. There was not only a nuclear program, but a nuclear weapons programs too. I cant find something like that in the spanish history. Spain have more nuclear plants. But most of them with foreing tecnology.

Confusion
The section on nuclear weapons is a mix of various ideas but is not precise. As far as I know, there was no official nuclear weapons program in Argentina during the last dictatorship. There were some nuclear weapons specialists, and submarine nuclear propulsion was envisioned, but an actual project never existed. The text carries on mixing things: a uranium enrichment plant was designed and constructed between '78 and '83 near Bariloche, but it was not capable of enriching up to weapons grade. The research reactor has nothing to do with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.0.233.51 (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
