Sort of. All you need for the enrichment is a supply of uranium and the
capability to turn it into Uranium hexafluoride gas. The Iranians are
known to have enrichment facilties. They claim its for peaceful use
only. Commercial reactors typically use fuel enriched to less than
10% while you want 90% or better for a bomb.

Exactly. Although the previous article about the Japanese stuff supplied

to
Libya didn't explicitly say, it sounded like they sold them the

gassification
equipment.

Am I correct to think that how far (on a percetage basis) you can enrich

the
uranium depends on how large (in numbers of centerfuges) your centerfuge
cascade is?


Pretty much.
