It turns out that Iran has informed the IAEA = International Atomic Energy Agency that it will move underground a high-performance centrifuge at a nuclear-related facility in Central Natans. A fire broke out this month at the facility, which was pointed to hostile Israeli involvement, and is likely to move to a safer location, but the Trump administration of the United States could revolt.
According to several people, Iran plans to move the centrifuge installed in the nuclear-related facility in the Central Natans to another location in the facility to the IAEA, which is monitoring the nuclear facility, this month. Was notified in writing.
Three uranium concentrators called "cascades" that connect several centrifuges, which are said to be several times more efficient than conventional centrifuges, will be relocated, from a concentration facility for research on the ground, It will be moved to a larger concentration facility in the basement.
At the Natans, there was a fire this month on a facility to develop a centrifuge, and the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency is aware that the facility will be severely damaged and delay development.
The fire may have been reported to have been a sabotage operation by Iran's hostile Israel, and it seems that Iran may move the high-performance centrifuge to a safer concentration facility.
However, if a high-performance centrifuge is used in an underground facility and uranium enrichment activities are resumed in earnest, it will lead to further violation of the nuclear agreement. The Trump administration could increase criticism of Iran.
Press Secretary mentions the possibility of relocation
"I was planning to build a prototype of a high-performance centrifuge in this building," a spokesman for the Iran Nuclear Agency told the state news agency about the fire in the Natans facility on Monday. It was revealed that it was a separator research and development facility.
After that, it has already been decided to rebuild the facility damaged by the fire, "the facility will be larger and will handle more advanced equipment," he explains.
On the other hand, a spokesman said, "There is still the question of whether to build it in the same location, or in another location that is appropriate due to defense concerns," regarding the reconstruction of the facility. He also mentioned the possibility of moving.
