Quote from dcraig:
Pure bullshit.
This facility is a civilian pressurized light water reactor for producing electricity. No ifs, no buts - that is it's purpose. Russia is supplying the fuel and taking the spent fuel back. Iran is absolutely entitled as a signatory to the NPT to this peaceful use of nuclear power. It contravenes no UN resolutions. It has nothing to do with uranium enrichment facilities.
The fuel consists of pellatized low enriched uranium with cladding inside fuel rods. There in no way to make this stuff into a bomb. Period.
Russia is taking back the used fuel, which in any case cannot be used to make a bomb without reprocessing facilities to extract plutonium to weapons grade purity, that Iran does not posses.
To make it clear - This plant is a threat to nobody
