Iran tests advanced generation of IR-8 centrifuges

[OldTwilight]

“In line with the continuation of the peaceful nuclear program of the Islamic Republic of Iran, a critical stage in R&D with the advanced generation of IR-8 centrifuges got underway with injection of UF6 gas,” read part of the announcement, carried on the official website of the agency.

The testing is under the research and development section of the international 2015 nuclear deal with six world powers of the U.S., Russia, China, England, France and Germany, which lifted economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for it rolling back its nuclear program.

Under the deal, Iran will commence, upon start of implementation of the JCPOA, testing of the IR-8 on single centrifuge machines and its intermediate cascades.

It will also start the testing of up to 30 centrifuges machines from one and a half years before the end of year 10.

Also, consistent with its plan, Iran will begin manufacturing of IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges without rotors through year 10 of the deal at a rate of up to 200 centrifuges per year for each type.

After year 10, Iran will produce complete centrifuges with the same rate to meet its enrichment and enrichment R&D needs.

Necessary infrastructure for the IR-8 will be installed at Natanz after year 10 in an above ground location under IAEA continuous monitoring.

IR-8 centrifuges are the latest generation of the machines designed and manufactured by Iranian experts, undergoing successful mechanical tests over the past three years.

The machines give Iran a 20-fold uranium enrichment capacity, compared to first generation centrifuges known as IR-1.

Over the past years, the county developed other centrifuge types of IR-2m, IR-4, IR-5, IR6, IR-6s, and IR-7.

Excellent. These will enrich the uranium for our future increased number of power plants.

 

[Valar Dohaeris]

How much is the limit of enrichment level which Iran can achieve under this deal ?

How much is the limit of enrichment level which Iran can achieve under this deal ?

3.75% though it ends in 10-15 years.

How much enrichment required for weapon grade .. can you also specify how much time these new centrifuges can take to enrich uranium to weapon grade level ...

In case us backout of its deal iran might want to go for weapon grade enrichment

90%, but I don't know how long it would take to get to that. It depends on the number of centrifuges.

It is called SW = Separative Work:

1 SWU = 1 kg SW

However, the Tails Assay is the key word here in this context:

According to the deal Iran is one year away from producing enough weapons grade uranium to be used in 1 device ( 16 kg of 90% enriched ) with it's 6000 IR-1 centrifuges . ( 6000 centrifuges , which currently operates )

The power of each IR-1 is equal to 1 SWU . 6000 IR-1 centrifuges is equal to 5000-6000 SWU power And this means a one year threshold (according to the deal ) , 1 year distance to produce 16 kg 90% U , enough for 1 device .

The power of each IR-8 is said to be around 20 SWU ( Before IR-8 iran had tested IR-2m, IR-4, IR-5, IR6, IR-6s, and IR-7 with different power between 2-15 SWU But Iran can't operate them during the period of the deal )

Now , 1000 IR-8 centrifuges is equal to 20,000 SWU .Enough to produce 64 kg 90% enriched weapons grade U in 1 year .
64 kg is enough to be used in 3-4 weapons a year . If the number of centrifuges be more for example 3000 , then it would be enough for around 8-10 weapons a year .

And don't mind the percentage because it's all about how you connect your centrifuges together .If you connect all , into one chain , then you can get more pure enriched Uranium .

I think the time of testing IR-8 clearly tells that it's a direct message to Trump which the message says :
" Deal or No deal ! and No deal means thousands of IR-8 in one chain under mountains (like missile bases ) ! Now choose maataapaakaa ! "

This is a good development ... Uranium enrichment is toughest but one part of the deal ... Where is Iran's position in terms of getting other techs Have Iran ever achieved successful cold test ???

I always wish that other muslim countries to acquire nuclear tech but in case of Iran and KSA I am afraid there is a risk of getting them used again our own muslim brothers ...

I hope somehow we muslims can get united under one flag

Its funny when Iran talk about centrifuge desgin, which is basically a stollen design from Pakistan.
Without support of Pakistani Shia, Iran could not even dream of talking about centrifuges.
All thanks to Baynazir Bhutto and her millitary secratary.

do pakistani members must highjack every single f.... thread here and downplay every single Iranian achievment?
do you guys have nothing better to do?
nothings really going on in pakistani section of this forum, right?

"Its funny when Iran talk about centrifuge desgin, which is basically a stollen design from Pakistan"

even if, soo whaaat?

if its working you dont have to reinvent the wheel, do you understand this?
"never change a running system"..

guess what,...todays missiles/rockets are "stolen" from hitlers V2 rocket!
american B2 bomber has "stolen" technology from nazi germany Horten Ho IX / 22 fighter.

its called technological evolution...

OK everybody, OldTwilight said it, the west is going to bomb Iran in less than 15 years. Who wants to bet on that happening? I don't.

Puh-lease, spare us your Anti-Iran Pakistan stronk drivel.

Murdered Pakistani PM shipped planes loads of materials and designs to Iran.
This is confessed by the complicits in Pakistan. and perhaps this is why certain Iranians associated with program are killed mysteriously.
