Iran said to expand uranium enrichment with new advanced centrifuges
(Worthy News) – As Iran and world powers appear closer than ever to signing a nuclear deal, a report Wednesday said that Tehran has moved to its next level of enriching uranium on new advanced centrifuges.
According to the report from the International Atomic Energy Agency seen by Reuters, Iran has started enriching uranium on the second of three clusters of advanced IR-6 centrifuges at its underground Natanz nuclear plant.
IR-6 centrifuges, the country’s most advanced model, can enrich uranium to at least 60 percent.
