Think tank: IAEA found Iran conducted, covered up implosion tests key to building nuclear weapon in 2003

One hopes today’s CIA is working hard to make up for the bunch in charge in 2003 and the years that followed, who either covered up a critical enemy action because they held themselves higher than the elected president of the United States or for whatever reason completely missed it. [IsraelTimes] Iran conducted and covered up “a number” of implosion tests that are key to developing a nuclear weapon in 2003, an analysis of the International Atomic Energy Agency’s May 31 report on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program reveals.
According to the Washington, DC-based Institute for Science and International Security think tank, which analysed and published key points from the IAEA report, the activities carried out by Iran were in preparation for a “cold test” in the development of a nuclear bomb, which involves the creation of “a fully assembled nuclear device with a surrogate core of natural or depleted uranium rather than weapons-grade uranium.”
Four tests were carried out in Marivan that “utilized ‘full-scale hemispherical implosion systems,’ involving the initiation of high explosives, with the generation of a spherically inward shock wave, and a resulting compression of a nuclear explosive core, minus the weapons-grade uranium and EDNS,” according to the institute, citing the IAEA report.
Explosively driven neutron sources are devices that utilize high explosives to create a burst of neutrons, and are key for the building of nuclear weapons.
According to ISIS, the IAEA’s report reveals for the first time that activities at the four nuclear sites — Marivan, Lavisan-Shian, Varamin, and Turquz-Abad — are deeply connected with the issue of missing nuclear material.
Iran, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, has denied seeking to build a nuclear weapon while enriching uranium to levels that have no use for civilian purposes
