Iran Could Boost Ability to Enrich Uranium
(Los Angeles Times) Julia Damianova and Borzou Daragahi - Iran has expanded the number of machines producing medical reactor-grade uranium, an incremental step that could increase its ability to produce the highly refined material necessary to build a nuclear bomb, said two diplomats in Vienna, home of the UN atomic watchdog agency. The envoys said they did not know yet whether a second machine installed next to the unit already producing 20% enriched uranium was being fed with uranium or sitting idle.
