Iran Testing New Centrifuges 15 Times More Powerful
(Fars-Iran) Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi announced Wednesday that the country's experts are now testing newly-designed IR2 and IR2M centrifuges. Iran in January unveiled the latest generation of its centrifuges that are 15 times more powerful than its currently operating IR1. Kamalvandi underlined Iran's capability to resume the frozen part of its nuclear activities and warned that the speed at which Iran can bring its frozen operations back into action would surprise the opposite party. In December, Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani announced that the country will gain access to modern nuclear technology to upgrade its centrifuges. He said, "The new generation of Iran's centrifuges will be of a much higher quality as compared with the previous ones."
