Will Saudi Arabia go nuclear?



The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is reported to have nearly finished building its first nuclear reactor.


Last year, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman warned that "if Iran develops a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit". 
Now, Saudi Arabia is said to be a few months away from completing its first nuclear reactor and some arms control experts are alarmed.
Photos have been published reportedly showing the reactor site in the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology on the outskirts of Riyadh.
Construction is apparently nearly completed around a vessel intended to contain atomic fuel.
