#1 Iran is oper Busheshr at "low/minimum" power or conduct of operations, which in turn tells me that it may be waiting to see how the "Jasmine" uprisings in the ME + North Africa will turn out - WID RADICAL ISLAM IN POSITION TO TAKEOVER OR DOMINATE THE GOVTS OF A HOST OF "MODERATE" MUSLIM STATES, + BY EXTENS ANY PERTINENT CIVILIAN NUCPROGS, IRAN COULD USE THESE AS JUSTIFICATION FOR ITS NUCPROGS OPER AT HIGHER CAPACITIES THAN CURRENT.

Once the MilTerr Groups go nuclear, Shia Iran can then claim it M-U-S-T procure or dev its own potent NucWeapons in response to POSSIBLE SUNNI NUCLEAR TERRORISM AGZ IT + SHIA ISLAM???

#4 Probably the best thing that can happen is for them to celebrate the loading and startup, them have something go horribly wrong.

#5 So whatever happened to all the indigenously refined uranium? Do they still have it? Did they trade it to Russia to get all this fuel from them? Why do they need 123 tons of fuel all in one shot? seems to me that's more than enough to make lots of bombs with if they just decide to shut down the plant and not return it.
