Actually I was trying to make two different points with my comment. Firstly, it the Russians were to sell an RBMK-1000 they might not be doing the Iranians much of a favor. Secondly, by selling them an RBMK-1000 they might be helping the Iranian bomb program. Depends on how you look at it.

Might that be an RBMK-1000 design??

My understanding, based on experience with Soviet/Russian commercial offers
in past years, is that they have offered only their pressurized water reactor
designs to other countries, including Iran.
