The BBC has an interesting set of pages up to "guide" lay-people through the processes of the nuclear fuel cycle including mining, enrichment, usage, etc. This is all pretty much public domain stuff from your basic physics book, but in the interest of "being informed" I figured I would post the link so that the non-science types could bone up before we start getting bullshit stories in the press relative to various aspects of the process as it relates to Iran and N. Korea. (or should I say before they start trying to make a case for invading these countries as well).
