Iran to Install Faster Uranium Enrichment Machines

Iran to Install Faster Uranium Enrichment Machines

Iran plans to place a quantity of advanced IR-2M uranium enrichment centrifuges in the main production area of its Natanz complex, the International Atomic Energy Agency quoted the nation as saying last week.
The U.N. nuclear watchdog on Tuesday requested various specifics about the scheduled action revealed on Jan. 23 by the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization, according to an IAEA statement to the member nations reported by Reuters on Thursday. It was uncertain how many machines are slated for installation in Unit A-22 of the Natanz site; one unit can hold in excess of 3,000 devices.http://www.nti.org/gsn/article/iran-upgrade-uranium-enrichment-machinery/
