Iran injects fuel into first nuclear reactor

After more than 30 years in the making Iran is planning on injecting nuclear material into its nuclear power plants reactor.  The reactor built by Russia in a deal made back in the 70s included the power plant nuclear material and disposal of the use nuclear material by Russia.  This shows that if Iran were planning on making a nuclear warhead that they could get uranium around sanctions.  I found it interesting that they agreed to let UN in to investigate the power plant to ensure that they are doing everything right and making it look like they are working with the international community.  They are still planning on building more nuclear plants in the future and a nuclear storage facility.  However according to the article they are still not able to enrich uranium enough to be weapons grade the most they have it enriched is 30% weapons grade is 90%.
