UN Nuclear Agency Reports Slight Increase in Iran's Uranium Enrichment Program
(AP) George Jahn - After years of rapid progress, Iran's uranium enrichment program expanded at only a slight pace, as did construction on a reactor that will produce substantial amounts of plutonium once completed, the UN atomic agency said Thursday in a report. It said Iran's stockpile of uranium enriched to 20% grew by about 10 kg. since the August report to total a little less than 200 kg., about 50 kg. less than the amount needed for a nuclear bomb. Iran installed only 4 additional centrifuges at its main enrichment facility since August, compared to 1,800 between May and August.
