Iran Stalls Russian Demand to Account for Nuclear Fuel
(New York Sun) - Some 600 Russian nuclear engineers are reportedly building a nuclear reactor for Iran, though Iran has yet to agree to return the plant's spent nuclear fuel - material that can be used to build nuclear bombs. Gary Milhollin, director of the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control and an expert in tracking nuclear transactions, said: "If the Iranians keep the spent fuel and process it one step further, they would have enough plutonium for several nuclear weapons. If the fuel does not go back to Russia, it means Iran can take a big step down the road to get nuclear weapons."
