Does this mean the Iranian "Atoms for Peace" "electricity production

program"
also actually produces byproducts that can be enriched by running them

through
centerfuges produced by Dr. Khan's proliferation network based on the
centerfuge design he stole from the Dutch company that briefly employed

him?


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.
