Yes, but the other thing here is, if you can build a reactor with a graphite moderator, burn non-enriched uranium in it, you can chemically easily recover Plutonium and build your own that way as well.
That is why I think the whole thing with Iran is a drama both sides of isle use to warrant having Iran out there as a threat that can be beat on at will.
The time they pushed a power plant online, they were making bomb material, material that works even better than U235.
It’s all international drama.
