Uranium hexafluoride gas is the material that, in the next stage, is fed into centrifuges used to enrich uranium. Uranium enriched to a low level is used to produce nuclear fuel to generate electricity and enriched further can be used to manufacture atomic bombs.

Well, what else would they need so much uranium hexafloride for? They are getting a light water reactor and the fuel to use in it. What possible need would they have for so much gas?

Mmmmm. Let's get our priorities right people.

Iran's use of uranium through the process of enrichment for fuel while they sit on the most accessible and largest supply of oil in the World makes about as much sense as Hugh Heffner going to a drug store to purchase a copy of Hustler so he can see pictures of naked women............

I'm no expert, but I read that Uranium can be enriched to proper bomb-making material through a low-cost and low-tech means of utilizing this very type of gas.
