#1 Well, Time mag, everyone has known about Bushehr reactor for over a year. We have been downloading satellite const progress images for over a year, 2.5 megs at a throw. So there is your source of Pu239 when it comes on line. It has been common knowledge that Iran has uranium deposits, so there is the U235 source. Well better late than never, now you know why Bush calls em a member of the axis of evil. Are these writers special ed or do they have their heads up their collective asses or what?

#2 Sources tell Time the IAEA has concluded that Iran actually introduced uranium hexafluoride gas into some centrifuges at an undisclosed location (and how would they know that without Israeli or American spies?) to test their ability to work.

Actually the IAEA laboratory at Seibersdorf (near Vienna) can measure micron size particles of uranium hexafluoride from swipe samples taken on or around the centrifuges. No country is currently advanced enough to clean up a used centrifuge to have it pass a swipe test of this kind.

Isn't science fun.
