ranian President Hassan Rohani said on Saturday that Iran had begun feeding uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas feedstock into about 30 uranium-enriching centrifuges installed at its underground nuclear plant at Natanz.
Rohani said that Iran has started the second stage of producing heavy water – a component of making nuclear weapons and nuclear energy that is not radioactive – at Arak Nuclear Plant. This is yet another breach by Iran of the nuclear accord it signed with world powers in 2015.
The deal was abandoned in 2018 by former President Donald Trump, who restored sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy.
Speaking on Iran's annual national nuclear day, Rohani said that, the production capacity of the new advanced IR-5 centrifuges at Natanz is ten times that of the old centrifuges.
Iran's IR-9 centrifuge, when operational, would have the ability to separate uranium isotopes more quickly than the current centrifuges being used, thereby enriching uranium at a faster pace.
