Anyone know how far along it is? I don't care about politics. I just want to know what stage the nuclear program is at. All the technical goodies and such.

They have a full working uranium program from mining to centrifuge cascades.

Some info on enrichment: http://www.uic.com.au/nip33.htm

Basically: Uranium ore---->milled into "Yellow Cake"----->converted to uraniumhexaflouride---->U235 and U238 separated in gas centrifuges

Their only nuclear reactor (Bushehr) is not yet operational despite several decades of perodic construction.
