Iran Said to Have Nuclear Fuel for One Weapon
[New York Times] William J. Broad and David E. Sanger - Iran has now produced enough nuclear material to make, with added purification, a single atom bomb, according to nuclear experts analyzing the latest report from global atomic inspectors. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which has been conducting inspections of Iran's main nuclear plant at Natanz, reported Wednesday that as of early November, Iran had made 630 kilograms of low-enriched uranium. Several experts said that was enough for a bomb, but they cautioned that Iran would have to take additional steps to further purify the fuel and put it into a warhead design.
