Iran starts new round of uranium conversion: diplomats

[andruejaysin]

UN inspectors "are reporting that the first drums of new uranium ore were fed into the process at the uranium conversion facility in Isfahan this morning," a diplomat who asked not to be identified told AFP.

Enriched uranium can be used as fuel for a civilian nuclear reactor or as atom bomb material.

The conversion into the precursor gas is a second round after Iran already processed 37 tonnes of ore.

Diplomats said the amount of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas the Iranians would have after processing what is likely to be 50 tonnes this time would be enough to make highly enriched uranium for up to 10 atomic bombs.

Well isn't that special! How long till Israel blows the shit out of that facility? :smokin:

Less than a year, by my guess. 4-5 until Iran nukes Tel Aviv.
