Good news: Iran plans to use new, faster centrifuge at Qom
You may recall that a few months ago I reported that Iran has developed a new, faster centrifuge. Well, with all signs indicating that the newly disclosed plant at Qom is meant for weapons, Iran is saying that it plans to use those new, faster centrifuges at Qom. "We have put our effort on research and development of new machines in the past two or three months so that we would be able to produce machines with high efficiency and completely indigenous," Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, was quoted as saying by the newspaper Kayhan.What could go wrong?
"We are hopeful of using a new generation of centrifuges at the (Qom-area) Fordu site," he said. Kayhan published a transcript of a state television interview with Salehi.
Nuclear experts believe the new model of centrifuge is capable of doubling or tripling the output rate.
...
Last month, Salehi said Iran had built a new generation of centrifuges and was testing them.

If its all for peaceful energy production, why does Iran need new and faster centrifuges?
