Centrifuge Uranium Enrichment Iran

Iran said on Monday it was developing advanced centrifuges that can enrich uranium faster. The biggest obstacle to building a nuclear weapon is obtaining enough fissile material – highly enriched uranium or plutonium – for the core of a bomb. A central aim of the deal was to extend the time Iran would need to do that, if it chose to, to a ...

Jul 03, 2014 Iran insists it needs to expand its capacity to refine uranium to fuel a planned network of atomic energy plants while the powers say Tehran must sharply reduce it to deny it any ability to quickly produce a nuclear bomb. Iran now has more than 19,000 installed enrichment centrifuges, mostly old-generation IR-1 machines, with about 10,000 of ...

Nov 07, 2019 Under the 2018 pact, Iran agreed to turn Fordow into a “nuclear, physics and technology center” where 1,044 centrifuges are used for purposes other than enrichment, such as producing stable isotopes, which have a variety of civil uses. “All the centrifuges installed at Fordow are IR1 types. Uranium gas (UF6) was injected into four chains ...
