The Bushehr reactor already has fuel. The Russians finished delivering fuel to it in Jan 2008. The final test run in Bushehr is actually due to happen in the next few days.

Bushehr could produce 30 plutonium nukes a year.... That is, if you change the fuel rods every four months before the Plutonium 240 (weapons-grade) can break down. Russia will not sell them new rods until the old ones are at least three years old, ruining them for weapons use.

Besides, Iran has focussed on a uranium bomb, a totally different weapon.
