Nuclear Iran l build 3,000 new centrifuges


Iran is building a 3,000  advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium, said SundayIranian media, something likely to add to Western concerns about the state'scontroversial Islamic country's nuclear program. The information was given by the head of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization,Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani , who had already announced earlier this year that it would install a new generation of centrifuges at its uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. However, it  is the first time that Iran provides a precise figure on the number of new machines, which could allow the Islamic country significantly accelerate the accumulation of material that the West fears could be used in a nuclear weapon. While Iran says it is refining uranium only for peaceful purposes, the Board of Governors of the IAEA, the UN nuclear agency, held Monday morning from its spring meeting focused on Iran's nuclear program, which, contrary to all international warnings, go ahead with its controversial activities. The 35 members of the Board discussed at its meeting, the first of this year, the recent technical report by IAEA inspectors in the Islamic Republic. According to this document, the Iranians are pressing ahead with its uranium enrichment program, including the installation of new gas centrifuges, which are three to six times faster than those used so far. In turn, Iranian technicians have become part of the material enriched to 20 percent in fuel for the reactor scientist TehranHowever, the IAEA's report criticizes the lack of progress in negotiations on the investigation of the military dimensions of the Iranian nuclear program. At the same time, in the most recent negotiations between Iran and the so-called 5 +1 Group , composed of the five members of the Security Council of the UN plus Germany powers presented Iran with a series of proposals that, unlike past, no input was rejected by the Iranians. However the meeting ended with Tehran's refusal to shut down its uranium enrichment plant, a meeting at expert level in Istanbul in March and a new negotiating table in April. The Security Council of the UN since 2006 requires Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment program, a dual use materials, civil and military. Much of the international community fear that Iran's development under the umbrella of a civilian program, the ability to build a bomb, something Tehran denies claiming that only peaceful intentions as generating electricity.
