Hi , on a point of detail ,
one need centrifuges if one's want to enrich the ratio of uranium 235/ 238 from the natural 2.5% to the ~6% needed to fire it in an power station , to make weapon grade stuff the U235 as to be enriched to ~95%
a Very expensive proposition requiring thousand of centifuges working in a tricky cascade ,
the irannians are on the first , legal ,part of this path .

The other path for a bomb is to use plutonium 239
but the stuff one's get from a nuclear power plant is mixed with PU 238 wich need to be reduced
that's the path of the north coreen at the jonbyong plant .
all indications are that they have not succeded in getting the engineering right and their test was a flop ,
however it's only a question of time until they get it right .

the north coreen have only a limited amount of mischief to create until china order them to stop , but the prospect of getting the japannese pants
stained brown is not without some satisfaction in beijijng and washington alike .

Thank you, Jeaguer. That was a clear and concise explanation, and I learned something new.
