VIENNA, Austria – Iran has increased its activity at the Fordo and Parchin nuclear facilities, the UN atomic agency said in a new report on Thursday, August 30.
The Islamic Republic has doubled the number of centrifuges to enrich uranium at its Fordo nuclear facility dug into a mountain, many more than expected.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report said that of August 18, Fordo had around 2,000 centrifuges installed, compared with around 1,000 in May. Only around 700 are operating, however.
In addition, Tehran has “sanitized” the Parchin base to such an extent that the UN atomic agency’s ability to investigate claims of nuclear weapons research there is “significantly” hampered, the agency said.
Iran “has been conducting activities at that location that will significantly hamper the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification.” – Rappler.com, with reports from Agence France-Presse
