UN Nuke Chief: Iran Operating Only Several Hundred Centrifuges
[AP/Washington Post] Donna Abu-Nasr - Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, said Thursday Iran is operating only several hundred centrifuges at its uranium enrichment plant at Natanz, despite its claims to have activated 3,000, and discounted Tehran's claims of a major advance in uranium enrichment. Experts say that 3,000 centrifuges would be enough in theory to develop a nuclear warhead in about a year, but they doubt Iran really had that many devices successfully running.
