Agency Details Iran's Ambitious Pursuit of Advanced Centrifuges
Findings run counter to Tehran's claim it spent little effort on its bid to enrich uranium.


By Douglas Frantz, Times Staff Writer


WASHINGTON — International inspectors have found new evidence that Iran engaged in a more ambitious program than it had admitted to develop advanced machines for producing material that could be used in nuclear weapons, according to a report obtained Tuesday.

Discoveries by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog, contradicted previous claims by Iran that its scientists had made little attempt to manufacture sophisticated Pakistani-designed P2 centrifuges.

IAEA inspectors also found traces of weapons-grade uranium that indicated Iran either had imported nuclear-related components from a country other than Pakistan or has made more progress than previously known in developing its own ability to produce material capable of being used in nuclear weapons.

The latest in a yearlong series of reports by the IAEA criticizing Iran's nuclear program said serious questions remained about the scope and intentions of Tehran's atomic activities, but it did not say evidence of a weapons program had been found. <snip>
