Radioactive particle collection Truck

I guess it was built to be used at locations before UN inspectors arrive.....OK I was just kidding!

I thought it was a mobile explosives testing chamber,like those mobile iraqi germ warfare labs,its even got a tiny little hobbit sized door at the bottom,on second thoughts maybe oompa-loompa sized

WOW..that new underground Assembly plant has been busy..
Iran managed to build over 1,000 IR-6 centrifuges in 1 year
Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami says the country managed to build more than 1,000 new-generation IR-6 centrifuges within a single year.

Iran’s Natanz Tunnel Complex: Deeper, Larger than Expected

The new very deep under the mountain facility built in NATAZ is so large that can accomodate Iran's new Centrifuge assembly plant in addition to an advanced enrichment plant populated with IR-6 machines... a three entrance tunnel system complex.

It's not really an achievement though. If anything, it's sad. That's 6,000 SWU only.

ICAC, before sabotage, was supposed to produce 60 IR-6 centrifuges per day, adding over 120K SWU/year annually.

I guess they do not want to go full up production until JCPOA fate is established

They have to keep the infrastructure commensurate with the amount of uranium that can be mined annually.

Iran is poor in uranium deposits and too many units will end up being a drain on funds that can't even function to full potential without anything to drive them.

Iran is not that poor in uranium deposits.
We are nowhere near countries like Kazakhstan or Russia, but we have enough uranium to run a commercial project for at least 20 years. Maybe even 30 years. Plus, we could always import uranium from countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, etc.

Nevertheless, if Iran wants to actually reach 190K SWU/year, as boasted by Khamenei himself many times, then ICAC has to be repaired and get back online fast. It seems that the explosion at the ICAC has had a huge impact on its production capacity.

Iran to construct indigenous 360MW commercial Nuclear Reactor​

Nuclear fuel rods displayed today: Those are Iranian made Zirconium tubes that hold enriched Uranium balls and go to the heart of any nuclear reactor... Zirconium metal is very hard to produce.

Note: The name "zirconium" is taken from the name of the mineral Zircon..The word is related to Persian name "Zargun" meaning gold-like.

Work has started..thanks to @Atar god of the fire for posting
Darkhovin #Nuclear PP chosen site in #Iran is seeing new earthworks activity during the last month. In April 2022, #AEOI's current chief Mohammad Eslami stated "This year we started another project to build a completely Iranian nuclear power plant with a capacity of 360 MWe."

Do not forget that this reactor is going to be developed based on the experiences gained from the construction of the Arak reactor. For comparison pakistan khushab nuclear complex which consist of 4 reactor which produce 200 MW electricity alongside 45 kg Plutonium.
Now imagine how much plutonium this reactor can produce alone!!

Oceangoing vessels are key to be powered by reactors.

20% of Iran's total electric power will be Nuclear
​

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) says the organization intends to generate enough power to meet 20 percent of national demand, equaling 14,000 megawatts.

14000 megawatts is equivalent to 14 Bushehr nuclear reactors...How many Iranian built reactors or foreign built is not known but fueling these reactors by Iran will require much more Uranium enrichment.
