Iran installs advanced centrifuges (P-2/IR-2) in main atom plant

Posted by Matt in April 3rd, 2008

Diplomats say Islamic Republic installing new centrifuges in Natanz weapons facility in move said to show it has no intention of suspending nuclear program despite demands by UN Security Council

Iran has begun installing advanced centrifuges in its main uranium enrichment plant, accelerating activity that could give it the means to make atom bombs in future if it chooses, diplomats said on Thursday.

An “IR-2″ Centrifuge Iran has been developing could enrich uranium 2-3 times faster than its start-up counterpart.

Iran Installing More Advanced Centrifuges at Natanz Pilot Enrichment Plant: Factsheet on the P-2/IR-2 Centrifuge

Recent press reports by Reuters, the Associated Press and the Austria Presse Agentur have highlighted Iran’s decision to move ahead with installation of modified P-2 centrifuges at the Natanz pilot fuel enrichment plant. Iran’s name for the machine is the IR-2.

This decision appears to reflect Iran’s commitment to expanding and improving its enrichment capabilities beyond those of the P-1 centrifuge, of which 3,000 are currently operating at the larger Natanz fuel enrichment plant.

What is a P-2 centrifuge and how has Iran modified it?

Read More…

  • The IR-2 is about one half the length of the P-2.
  • The IR-2 uses a single carbon fiber rotor and no maraging steel bellows which are difficult to make.  
  • A carbon fiber rotor can spin much faster than a maraging steel rotor.
  • The faster spin gives the IR-2 the same output as the P-2 design even though it is half the length.

Iran Nukes Funded By US Taxpayers!
Wouldn't it be mind blowingly stupid for the United States government to be funding Iran's nuclear program with U.S. taxpayer dollars? You say that it could never possibly happen?

Will Israel Bomb Iran? :: [Part 1 of 4]
The Middle East, and possibly the world, stands on the brink of a terrible conflagration as Israel and the United States prepare to deal with Irans alleged ambition to acquire nuclear weapons. Israel, it becomes clearer by the day, wants to use its air force to deliver a knock-out blow against Tehran. It is not known whether it will use conventional weapons or a nuclear warhead in such a strike.

Will Israel Bomb Iran?
There is strong evidence to suggest that Israel is considering a pre-emptive strike against Iran to halt its nuclear ambitions, amid suspicions that it is exploiting its civil nuclear programme as a cover to produce atomic weapons. Iran's current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad quoted Ayatollah Khomeini's call for Israel to be "removed from the pages of history", it's unlikely that Israel will just wait for them to aquire the weapons to achieve this.

Riz Khan - Israel-Iran tensions - 09 Sep 08 - Part 1
The United States has reached an impasse in trying to stop Iran from proceeding with its nuclear programme. That programme could fuel either peaceful nuclear reactors or nuclear bombs, although Iran insists that its nuclear programme is civilian and peaceful. Washington is coming under intense Israeli pressure to do more against Iran. Israeli officials repeat the mantra, "Israel will not allow a second Holocaust" in the context of Iran acquiring the atomic bomb. Speculation has been mounting for years that Israel might try to attack Iran's nuclear programme. But experts say it is not as simple as the Israeli attack of 1981, which destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor, or the Israeli attack of 2007, allegedly against the beginnings of a Syrian nuclear reactor. Riz speaks with an Israeli...

Iran Test-Fired 9 Missiles
Tension arose anew in the gulf on Wednesday, July 9 when Iran test-fired nine missiles that are capable of hitting Israel, making a dramatic show of its readiness to strike back if the United States or Israel attacks it over its nuclear program. The timing and location of the tests were clearly aimed to send a message, that Tel Aviv would be "set on fire" if Iran is attacked. Months ago, a Cargo ship hired by the US military reportedly fired warning shots at suspected armed Iranian boats in April 25th Friday, as the Pentagon sharpened its warnings to Tehran. Westward Venture cargo ship chartered by the US Defense Department was traveling in international waters when two unidentified small boats approached them. The boats did not respond to radio queries and a warning flare, the cargo...

Race for the Nuclear Bomb- Part 1/5
History of nuclear weapons chronicles the development of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are devices that possess enormous destructive potential that uses energy derived from nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions. Starting with the scientific breakthroughs of the 1930s which made their development possible, continuing through the nuclear arms race and nuclear testing of the Cold War, and finally with the questions of proliferation and possible use for terrorism in the early 21st century. The first fission weapons, also known as "atomic bombs," were developed in, and partially by, the United States during World War II in what was called the Manhattan Project. In August 1945 two were dropped on Japan. An international team was dispatched to help work on the project. The Soviet Union...
