Nuke is short for nuclear.++
Ok I got it. But here on FR I frequantly saw the use of "nuke" in sense of warhead. WMD.
"Nuclier" on other hand is more for civilian atomic.
So Russia sold that reactor but as I red in press the russian experts believe that iranians can't extract nothing weapon class from it.

So what do you think about the North Koreans having Nuclear Weapons? They have Plutonium Nukes. Thats Russia's speciality isnt it?

The Russians were only supposed to sell the reactor under the terms that they remove the spent fuel rods afterwards, so they couldn't be used for WMD's. However, it has been reported, now that Bushehr is almost finished, that the Iranians have a Gas Centrifuge Plant and will provide their own fuel. It should also be noted that a Gas Centrifuge Plant can enrich Uranium up to Weapons-Grade quality. Right RusIvan?
