Iran Relocating Nuclear Research Site to Avoid Detection
(Reuters) The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which exposed Iran's uranium enrichment facility at Natanz and a heavy water facility at Arak, said on Thursday it had information about a center for nuclear weaponization research in Tehran that the government was moving to avoid detection ahead of negotiations with world powers. NCRI said the SPND research and planning center was being moved to a large, secure site in a defense ministry complex in Tehran about a mile away from its former location to avoid the risk of visits by UN nuclear inspectors. It said the center employed about 100 researchers, engineers and experts to conduct experiments with radioactive material and research into the weaponization of nuclear weapons.
