Iranian Nuclear Technology and Industry (technical only... non-political)

Iran's Industrial Irradiation facility
  • Located in Qazvin Innovation park
  • has two Irradiation cyclotron CELV-8 designed and made in Iran (, circular electron 8 Mag coil accelerator 2.5 MeV, 40ma), and a Rhodotron type accelerator (this type to become operation in a month).
  • Used for Irradiation of industrial and agricultural products to improve and ruggedize properties,
  • فتنی است استفاده از فناوری پرتودهی باعث ایجاد پیوند عرضی در عایق سیم و کابل و در نتیجه بهبود ویژگی‌های حرارتی نظیر افزایش دمای ذوب به‌منظور انتقال توان بیشتر، بهبود ویژگی‌های شیمیایی همچون افزایش مقاومت عایق در شرایط سخت و خورنده صنعتی و بهبود ویژگی‌های مکانیکی نظیر افزایش مقاومت، استحکام خستگی و سایش می‌شود.

    لازم به ذکر است نخستین دستگاه شتابدهنده الکترون توان بالا «CELV-8» با تلاش متخصصان شرکت توسعه کاربرد پرتوها در مرکز پرتودهی قزوین طراحی و ساخته شده است.

Why is a jabroni piece of garbage being allowed to derail this thread!? Can someone please report the lowlife insect? I have the bloated dung beetle on ignore so I can't do it myself.
Hey azari pedophile turk clone feces, you get excited at a site of a little girl's hair, bringing out the pedophile in you. You attack, beat, rape, and kill young Iranian girls for not wearing headscarf. It is the azari pedophile turds like you and your gang of women-beating azarit turds that need to be beaten to death, you scum of the earth.

"Iran's stock of uranium enriched to up to 60% grew by 6.7 kg (14.8 pounds) to 128.3 kg (282.9 pounds) since the last report on Sept. 4, one of the two reports to member states seen by Reuters said. That is more than three times the roughly 42 kg (92.6 pounds) that by the IAEA's definition is theoretically enough, if enriched further, for a nuclear bomb.

The rate at which Iran is enriching to 60%, however, has slowed to around 3 kg (6.6 pounds) a month from 9 kg (19.8 pounds) earlier this year, which diplomats said is the apparent result of indirect negotiations with the United States that led to a prisoner exchange between the two countries in September.

The number of cascades, or clusters, of uranium-enriching centrifuges in operation is also unchanged, the report said."


Iran now has sufficient HEU (60%) for 4-5 nuclear warheads, sufficient HEU (20%) for 3-4 nuclear warheads and sufficient LEU (5%) for 8-9 nuclear warheads (if further enriched to 90%, which would take only a few weeks for the 20%/60% stockpile, a bit longer for the 5% stockpile) --> latent capacity to produce 16-18 nuclear warheads at short notice (assuming 16kg of 90% HEU per warhead)

The stockpile of 60% and 20% HEU is the quickest and easiest path to nuclear capability for Iran - within c. 3-4 weeks Iran could produce sufficient 90% HEU for 7-9 nuclear warheads, 2-3 for testing underground and 5-6 for operationalising on Khorramshahr-4/Fattah/Sejjil MRBMs. I am not sure how much work Iran did on miniaturisation of nuclear warheads pre-2003, but in any event co-operation with North Korea could streamline this process. Realistically, this is still too low for Iran to not be vulnerable during the interim period, but it's getting closer (if Iran can produce 10-20 warheads within 1 week, the calculus for intervention starts to shift IMO).

A dual strategy of amassing much more HEU (20% and 60%) and installing more cascades of advanced centrifuges (IR-4/6 suffice for now but ideally IR-8/9 in the coming years) would be ideal. Unfortunately Iran still uses thousands of IR-1/2 centrifuges and has not yet replaced these with IR-4/6 centrifuges. Hopefully we receive good news on testing of IR-8/9 soon. Any news on this? @PeeD @AmirPatriot

At the current pace of enrichment to 5%, 20% and 60%, Iran is producing c. 12kg / month (once enriched to 90%) = sufficient for one additional nuclear warhead every 1.5 months / 8 per year (albeit that it would take longer to enrich this stockpile of LEU to 90% in comparison to uranium enriched to 60% HEU, which is far slower unfortunately - sufficient for one additional warhead every 8-10 months)
