Kerr of the Congressional Research Service wrote in an August 2009 report (PDF) that the principal proliferation concern is "Tehran's construction of a gas-centrifuge-based uranium-enrichment facility " at Natanz. Experts say enrichment of uranium hexafluoride gas is of particular concern, because producing weapons-grade fuel (HEU) is considered the most difficult aspect of the nuclear fuel cycle. Kerr also counts Iran's construction of a heavy-water reactor at Arak--which contains plutonium in its spent fuel--as another proliferation concern. ﺃﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﻠ��ﻖ ﺍﻟﺮﺋﻴﺴ��ﻲ ﻫ��ﻮ ﺑﻨ��ﺎء ﺇﻳ��ﺮﺍﻥ ﻟﻤﻔﺎﻋ��ﻞ ﻳﻘ��ﻮﻡ ﻋﻠ��ﻰ ﺃﺟﻬ��ﺰﺓ ﻁﺮﺩ ﻣﺮﻛﺰﻱ ﻗﺎﺋﻤﺔ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺗﻜﻨﻮﻟﻮﺟﻴﺎ ﺍﻟﻐﺎﺯ ﻟﻠﺘﺨﺼﻴﺐ ﻓﻲ ﻧﺎﺗ�ﺎﻧﺰ ﺣﻴﺚ ﻳﻘﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﺨﺒﺮﺍء ﺃﻥ ﺗﺨﺼﻴﺐ ﻏﺎﺯ ﺍﻟﻬﻴﻜﺴﺎﻓﻠﻮﺭﺍﻳﺪ ﻳﺆﺩﻱ ﺇﻟﻰ ﻭﻫ��ﻮ ﺃﺻ��ﻌﺐ ﻣﺮﺣﻠ��ﺔHEU ﺇﻧﺘ��ﺎﺝ ﻳﻮﺭﺍﻧﻴ��ﻮﻡ ﻋ��ﺎﻟﻲ ﺍﻟﺘﺨﺼ��ﻴﺐ ﻛﻤ�ﺎ ﺃﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﻠ�ﻖ ﺍﻵﺧ�ﺮ ﻫ�ﻮ ﺑﻨ�ﺎء ﺇﻳ�ﺮﺍﻥ.ﻓﻲ ﺩﻭﺭﺓ ﺍﻟﻮﻗ�ﻮﺩ ﺍﻟﻨ�ﻮﻭﻱ ﻟﻤﻔﺎﻋﻞ ﺁﺧﺮ ﻳﻌﻤﻞ ﺑﺎﻟﻤﺎء ﺍﻟﺜﻘﻴﻞ ﻓﻲ ﺁﺭﺍﻙ ﻣﻤ�ﺎ ﻳ�ﺆﺩﻱ ﺇﻟ�ﻰ ﺇﻧﺘ�ﺎﺝ ﻣﺎﺩﺓ ﺍﻟﺒﻠﻮﺗﻮﻧﻴﻮﻡ ﻓ�ﻲ ﻭﻗ�ﻮﺩﻩ ﺍﻟﻤﺴ�ﺘﺨﺪﻡ )ﻭﻛﻼﻫﻤ�ﺎ ﻋﻨﺼ�ﺮﺍﻥ ﻓ�ﻲ ..(ﺃﻱ ﺑﺮﻧﺎﻣﺞ ﻧﻮﻭﻱ ﻋﺴﻜﺮﻱ • the Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center employs as many as three thousand scientists and is suspected of housing Iran's weapons program, according to the U.S.-funded nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

Yet, at their present rate of production, 3,000 of Iran’s existing IR-1 centrifuges would take two years to fuel a bomb and ten years to produce the minimum arsenal of five weapons that a new nuclear power can be expected to require. To achieve what the United States projects, Iran would have to quadruple the centrifuges’ present production rate, a feat that is theoretically within the centrifuges’ design limits, but not one Iran appears to have achieved. (See option 1) Iran may have been planning to install more advanced centrifuges at the plant, such as a modified version of the P-2 machine deployed in Pakistan. These could fuel a five-bomb arsenal in just over a year. But while Iran has tested such machines, there is no evidence that it can manufacture them in bulk or operate them on a production basis. (See option 3) Or perhaps Iran intended to use the Qum plant in a diversion scenario. Lowenriched uranium stockpiled at Natanz and suitable for use in nuclear reactors could be diverted to Qum, or a similar such facility, and processed to weapongrade. This could allow Iran to fuel one bomb in about seven months even at a low production rate. If the rate were doubled, the plant could fuel one bomb in about four months and three within a year. If the rate were quadrupled, which appears technically feasible, the plant could fuel almost one bomb per month and fuel a five-bomb arsenal in less than a year. (See option 2) This diversion 38 scenario would yield an arsenal even more quickly if the plant were outfitted with more advanced centrifuges. (See option 4) However, because the Natanz plant is being watched over by international inspectors, diversion of its material would be illegal and soon detected. Iran would also be limited by the size of its declared stockpile. Iran could still be willing to chance diversion if production rates were high enough to confront other countries with a nuclear deterrent before they could organize a response. The four tables set forth data on the scenarios described above. Option 1: Using natural uranium feed and IR-1 centrifuges (assuming 16 kg of HEU per bomb and 200 swu per kg of HEU, one would need about 3,200 swu per bomb) Total Bombs/year Years Years to 1st to output bomb arsenal of 5 bombs Number of centrifuges Output/machine 3,000 .5 swu (present rate achieved at Natanz) 1,500 swu .5 2 10 3,000 1 swu (twice present rate but still below estimated capabity) 3,000 swu .9 1.1 5.6 3,000 2 swu (estimated capacity of IR-1) 6,000 swu 1.9 .5 2.6 Option 2: Using 3.5% enriched uranium feed, as in Iran's stockpile, and IR-1 centrifuges (assuming 16 kg of HEU per bomb and 52.4 swu per kg of HEU, one would need 39 about 840 swu per bomb) Number of centrifuges Output/machine 3,000 .5 swu (present rate achieved at Natanz) 1,500 swu 1.8 .6 2.8 3,000 1 swu (twice present rate but still below estimated capabity) 3,000 swu 3.6 .3 1.4 2 swu (estimated capacity of IR- 6,000 1) swu 7.1 .1 .7 3,000 Total Bombs/year Years Years output to 1st to bomb arsenal of 5 bombs Option 3: Using natural uranium feed and the more advanced centrifuges being tested (assuming 16 kg of HEU per bomb and 200 swu per kg of HEU, one would need about 3,200 swu per bomb) Number of centrifuges 3,000 Output/machine Total Bombs/year Years Years output to 1st to bomb arsenal of 5 bombs 4 swu (estimated rate based on 12,000 Iran's modification of the P-2 swu centrifuge deployed in Pakistan) 3.8 .3 1.3 Option 4: Using 3.5% enriched uranium feed, as in Iran's stockpile, and advanced centrifuges 40 (assuming 16 kg of HEU per bomb and 52.4 swu per kg of HEU, one would need about 840 swu per bomb) Number of centrifuges 3,000 Output/machine Total Bombs/year Years Years output to 1st to bomb arsenal of 5 bombs 4 swu (estimated rate based on 12,000 Iran's modification of the P-2 swu centrifuge deployed in Pakistan) 14.3 .1 .4 Iran's Nuclear Timetable Updated November 16, 2009 Iran’s bank of rapidly spinning centrifuges at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant has produced a stockpile of low-enriched uranium, able to fuel nuclear reactors, but able also to fuel nuclear weapons if further enriched by re-circulating it through the centrifuges. The re-circulation raises the concentration of the uranium isotope U-235, which fissions in nuclear weapons such as the one dropped on Hiroshima. Based on the amount of low-enriched uranium Iran has stockpiled, and the amount it is believed to be producing each month, the Wisconsin Project estimates that by December 2008, Iran had accumulated enough U-235 to fuel one bomb quickly. By the end of this year, the Project estimates that Iran will have enough U-235 to a fuel a second bomb. "Quickly," in this context, means two to three months – about the time it would take Iran to raise the level of U235 in its uranium stockpile from 3.5 percent to over 90 percent. 41 As Iran increases the number of centrifuge machines it is operating, and increases its stockpile of low-enriched uranium, it will consolidate its status as a "virtual" nuclear weapon state. Iran's progress towards this status as of November 1, 2009 is estimateda below: • Amount of U-235 contained in Iran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium: 41.7 kg b • Amount of this U-235 produced each month: 2 kg c • Amount of this U-235 required to fuel a first-generation implosion bombd: 21.6 kg e • Date by which Iran probably had stockpiled the above: December 2008 f • Number of additional months needed to convert this low-enriched uranium to weapon-grade g: Two to three h • Date by which Iran may have enough U-235 to fuel a second bomb: December 2009 i Additional estimates: Moving from reactor-grade to weapon-grade uranium • Amount of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) enriched to 3.5 percent U-235 now on hand: 1,763 kg j • Average daily production rate of this low-enriched UF6: 2.77 kg k 42 • Amount of this low-enriched UF6 needed to produce a bomb’s worth of weapon-grade UF6: 914 kg l • Number of separative work units (SWUs)m needed to accomplish the above: 840 n • Number of first generation IR-1 centrifuges being fed with UF6 at the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant: 3,936 o • Average number of SWUs each centrifuge now appears to be producing per year: .5 p • Average number of SWUs each centrifuge produced per year between December 2007 and November 2008: .5 q • Total number of centrifuges installed at Natanz: 8,692 r • Number of SWUs these 8,692 centrifuges are assumed to be capable of producing per year: 8,600 s • Number of months needed for these 8,692 centrifuges operating at such a capacity to produce 840 SWUs: 1.2 t Comments: 43 • Though Iran has not increased the number of centrifuges enriching uranium at Natanz, it has made steady progress in increasing the plant’s enrichment capacity by installing additional centrifuges. Iran is close to having three operational units (of about 3,000 machines each) at the plant, though as of early November 2009 it was enriching uranium in only about half of these machines. • Iran appears to be operating its centrifuges well below their estimated capacity. Iran’s monthly production rate of low-enriched uranium now appears stable. An increase in the production rate earlier in 2009 can be attributed to the fact that more machines are operating, not because these machines are operating more efficiently. • Following start-up, centrifuge cascades must be operated for a time without product withdrawal. The low production rate at Natanz may be, in part, due to the fact that Iran continues to add new centrifuges. • The amount of low-enriched UF6 produced from November 2008 through the end of October 2009 (about 924 kg) is an estimate provided by Iran to the IAEA. Through independent readings, the IAEA calculates that Iran produced 814 kg of this material over roughly the same period. Under the current inspection arrangement, the Agency only verifies Iran's estimate once a year, when a physical inventory verification is done. The next inventory at Natanz is planned for late November 2009, and the results of this inventory can be expected in early 2010. It should be noted that the results of the previous inventory revealed that Iran had underestimated by about one third the amount of low enriched UF6 actually produced.

On 14 May 2008, Iran provided in writing its overall assessment of the documents presented to it by the Agency. Iran stated that the documents “do not show any indication that the Islamic Republic of Iran has been working on [a] nuclear weapon.” Iran also stated that the documents were not authentic, that they were “forged” or “fabricated”. Iran did not dispute that some of the information contained in the documents was factually accurate, but said the events and activities concerned involved civil or conventional military applications. Iran said the documents contained numerous inconsistencies and many were based on publicly available information. Iran stated that “the Islamic Republic of Iran has not had and shall not have any nuclear weapon program.” IAEA POSITION 9/15/08 18. The Agency believes that Iran could, as a matter of transparency, assist the Agency in its assessment of the alleged studies by providing it with access to documents, information and personnel to demonstrate, as Iran asserts, that these activities were not nuclear related. Unfortunately, Iran has not yet provided the requested information, or access to the requested documentation, locations or individuals. 23. The Agency, regrettably, has not been able to make any substantive progress on the alleged studies and other associated key remaining issues which remain of serious concern. For the Agency to make progress, an important first step, in connection with the alleged studies, is for Iran to clarify the extent to which information contained in the relevant documentation is factually correct and where, in its view, such information may have been modified or relates to alternative, non-nuclear purposes. Iran needs to provide the Agency with 46 substantive information to support its statements and provide access to relevant documentation and individuals in this regard. 2. Documents suggesting work on development and testing of high voltage detonator firing equipment and exploding bridgewire (EBW) detonators including, inter alia, the simultaneous firing of multiple EBW detonators Description of documents Document 1: “Analysis and Review of Exploding Bridgewire (EBW) Detonator Test Results” dated January–February 2004, comprising 11 pages in Farsi reporting on work carried out by “Project 3.12” to design and construct an EBW detonator and a suitable detonator firing unit, including testing of about 500 EBW detonators. [5/26/08] Document 2: One page undated document in Farsi providing text and a schematic diagram for an underground testing arrangement.

Independent experts have confirmed that the only possible use for UD3 is as a neutron source, the trigger to the chain reaction for a nuclear explosion. Critically, while other neutron sources have possible civilian uses, UD3 has only one application — to be the metaphorical match that lights a nuclear bomb. UD3, when used in a neutron initiator, emits a stream of neutrons that ignite the core of a bomb, either weapons-grade uranium or plutonium. The stream of neutrons is released using high explosives to compress a core of solid UD3, creating fusion. Foreign intelligence agencies are closely monitoring all of Iran’s weapons activities and a test explosion would not go unnoticed, which poses a problem to the covert development of a nuclear weapon. * An explosion could be explained as conventional weapons testing, but not if traces of uranium were left behind from the use of UD3. Such a discovery would be regarded as proof of weapons testing, and as a statement of Iran’s nuclear intent. In the documents obtained by The Times, Iranian military scientists suggest a way around the problem: by running surrogate tests that substitute titanium deuteride for the uranium compound. They suggest “continuing the work of replacement materials such as TiD2 [titanium deuteride] in order to avoid U [Uranium] pollution in the production of UD3”. Titanium deuteride would behave in the same way, producing a measurable flow of neutrons, but without leaving the traces of uranium. The explosion would also be smaller. 49 “They want to test the match without burning it,” a Western intelligence source said. “Then they can take it to the Supreme Leader and say, ‘We know it all works now.’ Then he has everything he needs for the moment, if it comes, that he gives the order to build a bomb.” * That order, according to the source, does not appear to have been made, and there is no evidence that it will. But even without it Iran is edging closer to nuclear latency — the immediate potential to assemble a bomb — effectively giving it a nuclear deterrent. The last ingredient Iran requires is enough fissile material to arm a weapon. Estimates vary, but at present Iran’s known stockpile of low-enriched uranium is only just enough to arm one warhead — if that material were enriched further to weapons-grade. That stockpile of low-enriched uranium is under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) supervision at Iran’s enrichment plant at Natanz. However, the recent discovery of a nuclear facility near Qom, which was due to come online next year as a back-up enrichment plant, has renewed fears that Iran may have other secret sites where it is enriching or preparing to enrich uranium (Catherine Philip ,'Discovery of UD3 Raises Fears Over Iran’s Nuclear Intentions," The Times, London, 14 December 2009). 50 * Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, recently warned that Iran may be prepared to make a nuclear weapon within a period of one to three years. He believes that time is running out for diplomacy. In an interview, he said that if the assumptions with which they work are confirmed, Iran is ‘moving in this direction clearly, and will continue to do so.’ Mullen recalled that Iran successfully conducted a very recent test with a longrange missile and continues to enhance its weapons capabilities. The Admiral distrusts the intention of the Iranian government to produce nuclear energy for civilian purposes. “Their intentions are very clear,” he adds. Considering that an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities would have ‘grave consequences,’ he stressed the importance of dialogue with Iran. Mullen said that the United States must approach Iran with ‘all options on the table’ to achieve the ultimate goal of preventing the country from achieving a nuclear weapon. US President Barack Obama has been an advocate of diplomatic approach with Iran, a country with which the United States broke diplomatic relations in 1980. In a video broadcast to the Iranian people last March, Obama called for ‘the search for constructive ties between the United States, Iran and the international community’ and was willing to end thirty years of conflict if Tehran abandons threats. The international community has asked the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to stop its nuclear program but Tehran maintains that its purpose is for civilians and is not seeking to develop a nuclear weapon. 51 Russian Experts Predict Iranian Nuclear Bomb In Five Years by Staff Writers Moscow, Russia (AFP) Mar 03, 2006 Iran will have nuclear weapons within five years at the latest and the world should from now on get used to the idea, according to an experts' report due to be presented to the Russian foreign and defence policy council on Saturday. Some experts fear that if "Iran is seeking to equip itself with nuclear weapons Iran acquired a nuclear weapon that could and will succeed in doing so sooner or later," Interfax news agency quoted the report as saying on "encourage other countries in the region -Friday. Saudi Arabia or Egypt -"A minority of experts believe that will happen in to create an Arab bomb." the space of between six months and one or two years. The majority think it will take several years, up to five years," said the report to the council, which is an advisory body. News of the report's contents emerged shortly after Iran and the European Union announced they had failed to strike a deal that could have prevented Tehran being sent to the United Nations Security Council over its nuclear activities. Iran denies it is seeking to develop a nuclear bomb as the United States has charged, but has so far refused to promise to not develop technology that would allow it to develop an atomic weapon. 52 Russia has proposed that Iran should enrich on Russian soil the uranium it says is needed for its civilian nuclear reactors but Tehran has refused to accept Russian demands that it reinstate a moratorium on nuclear research. The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meets Monday to consider a report which could lead to Iran being referred to the UN Security Council and sanctions being adopted. "In any event ... the world would do well to start now to get used to the idea of coexisting with an Iranian nuclear power," the report advised. The report's authors said a nuclear-armed Iran would negatively affect Russian security but that the consequences "will not be catastrophic as long as the Iranian regime is stable". Tehran would not use these nuclear weapons, the experts forecast. Nor would it pass on nuclear know-how, either to other countries or to extremist organisations, they said. But some of the experts feared that if Iran acquired a nuclear weapon that could "encourage other countries in the region -- Saudi Arabia or Egypt -- to create an Arab bomb." They thought "there was little chance that the United States would carry out strikes on Iranian territory in the near future." But they were pessimistic about future developments in the region: the zone stretching from Afghanistan to North Africa will remain a major centre of "Islamist global terrorism" and at the same time the danger of the spread of weapons of mass destruction would continue growing. 53 "Many (states) are ready to relaunch their nuclear programme so as not to become another Iraq," the report says. There are also warnings on the risks of destabilisation threatening initially "the Egypt-Sudan axis", Saudi Arabia, Iraq and above all Kurdish areas of Iraq, and Pakistan. The governments in the region have run their course and for their peoples "radical Islamists appear the only alternative for change." The authors of the report think that the more the United States pushes for democracy and free elections, the greater the chances Islamists will win power. "Democratisation will lead to the disappearance of the remains of governability .. and the arrival of free elections in present conditions will inevitably bring radical Islamists to power." The Russian experts believe that the presence of US forces in Iraq is a stabilising factor. "An early departure from Iraq by the United States would risk bringing a serious destablisation of the whole region, intensifying activities by terrorists and would be directly opposed to Russia's interests."

"Iran continues with its plans," he told the MKs. "Its possession of nuclear weapons could destablize the entire Middle East. There is dialogue between the U.S. and Iran, with the prospects for success doubtful. For us as well, [diplomacy] would be the preferred way to stop [Iran's nuclear development] project. But as the chief of staff, I have to be prepared for any eventuality, and so this is what we are doing," While Western military and intelligence officials debated whether Iran has the capability to produce a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile, the Islamic Republic surprised the world last month by launching precisely such a weapon. The Seji-2 missile, a two-stage missile, reached its intended target, according to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The 2,000-kilometer range missile is powered by solid fuel, and is reported to be a more advanced weapon than the country’s previous Shihab missile series. Beiditz told the committee that Hamas is continuing to successfully smuggle arms into Gaza, adding that Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas is expecting U.S. President Barack Obama to pressure Israel into making more security concessions. He also warned that the Hizbullah terrorist group remains a threat to Israel's north as well. "Hizbullah has deployed north and south of the Litani with missiles that can reach deep into Israel," he said. Its deployment is a direct violation of United Nations Resolution 1701, the ceasefire agreement which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War. The Litani River, located 12 miles from the Israel's northern border, was to be a marker point below which Hizbullah terrorists were not allowed to re-group. 55 The U.N. Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) were deployed in a buffer zone that was to be free of "any armed personnel" -- both Hizbullah terrorists and IDF soldiers -- between the river and the U.N.-drawn Blue Line in the southern sector of the country. The agreement also calls for "no sales or supply of arms and related materiel to Lebanon except as authorized by its government."
