Thelasian -

I suggest you read the article I posted, which said, amungst other things:

The Iranian list, presented during talks in Paris, includes demands that
the three European powers:
- Support Iran's insistence its nuclear program have access to "advanced
technology, including those with dual use," which is equipment and
know-how that has both peaceful and weapons applications.

YEs, and since all nuclear technology is inherently dual use, all that
means is that Iran insist on its RIGHT to receive all the technology
and not just the ones that the EU3 thinks is safe enough to give
away.

Thelasian -

I suggest you learn a bit more about nuclear technology before you
embarrass yourself further.

All nuclear technology is not "inherently" dual use. There are many
nuclear reactor designs that cannot be used for weapons use; reactors
that run on low grade fuel come to mind. Both the USSR and the US export
such designs and equipment to countries truly looking for peaceful uses
of nuclear power. Without reprocessing or extraction plants (which do
utilize dual use technology) such a low grade reactor is not dual use,
and with an outside country swapping fuel loads as needed there is no
need for any in-country dual use technology.

So why is Iran insisting it needs dual use nuclear technology when, if
all it wants is peaceful nukes, it could go with non-dual use technology?

Go back, read something reasonable about nuclear technology, and then
come back and post.

Until then, quit posting factually wildly incorrect statements such as
"all nuclear technology is inherently dual use".
