Israel Says Iran Used Parchin Military Site for Testing Nuclear Detonation Technology
(Reuters) Jeffrey Heller - Israel said on Wednesday that Iran has used its Parchin military base as the site for secret tests of technology that could be used only for detonating a nuclear weapon. Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said that, based on "highly reliable information," the implosion tests at Parchin involved neutron sources that would include nuclear material. "The only possible purpose of such internal neutron sources is to ignite the nuclear chain reaction in nuclear weapons," he said.
