Iran says it is developing new nuclear centrifuges
TEHRAN -- Iran's nuclear chief said Friday that the country is building a new generation of centrifuges for uranium enrichment, but that they need further tests before they can become operational.
| Good thing Champ has an agreement with them not to do the very thing they're doing... |
Under a landmark nuclear deal reached last month between Iran and world powers, Iran promised not to bring new centrifuges into operation for six months. But the deal does not stop it from developing centrifuges.
| So Iran will 'build' the centrifuges but not 'bring them into operation.' I'm guessing they'll just 'test' them. Extensively... |
In comments reported by state TV late Thursday, nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi did not elaborate on how long the building and testing would take. He also said Iran has a total of 19,000 centrifuges, though he did not say how many were operational. In August, Iran said it had 18,000 centrifuges.
| How many were infected with a virus? |
Iran previously gave the U.N. nuclear watchdog information on the new generation of machines.
