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?

Fuel as I remember is not uranium but uranium oxide. And it no needs more then 5% purity.
So I conclude their plant is not for this reactor.

If iranians want to enrich uranium then I wonder where they get ore? And I wonder why ICAE doesn't impose sanctions on Iran?
