Iran starts operation of 492 new centrifuges
TEHRAN - Iran has started operation of 492 nuclear centrifuges, official news agency IRNA reported on Friday. An unnamed official source told IRNA that three cascades of 164 centrifuges of P1 type have become operational at the Natanz nuclear plant in central Iran. The IRNA report has not yet been confirmed by official sides.

Iran had earlier Friday said that there were no technical problems with its newly installed centrifuges and denied Western press reports in this regard, official news agency IRNA reported.

“We have no technical problems with the centrifuges,” deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Mohammad Saeidi, told IRNA. “Those countries still not acknowledging Iran’s technical progress will eventually be forced to do so,” Saeidi added.
