Iran's nuclear programme: What's been happening at its key nuclear sites? The nuclear fuel cycle Iran nuclear crisis in words Iran nuclear deal - all you need to know. Why did Iran stop complying? Iran's oil exports - the government's principal source of revenue - were hit by the reinstated US sanctions.

Iran has installed 1, IR2 centrifuge machines and one cascade of IR4 machines. Both are in operation and have more speed than the IR1 machines. Since late February, Iran has ceased abiding by a confidential agreement with the U. The International Atomic Energy Agency has additional protocols with several countries it monitors.
Under the protocol with Iran, the IAEA "collects and analyzes hundreds of thousands of images captured daily by its sophisticated surveillance cameras," the agency said in The agency also said then that it had placed "2, tamper-proof seals on nuclear material and equipment.
The U will spend, on average, more time being pushed along with the flow along the center and will concentrate at the opposite end.
Thus, the U and U do not separate relative to the wall and the center but along the length of the centrifuge. This is one reason that the longer the rotor, the greater the separation of the centrifuge.
Tubes running along the center of the rotor extract the UF6 gas. From one end the gas will be slightly enriched in U compared to the feed gas and at the opposite end the gas will be slightly depleted in U compared to the feed gas.
Because only a small amount of UF 6 is in the centrifuge at any given moment, most of the force on the spinning centrifuge is due to the centrifuge material itself. The important characteristic of the centrifuge material is, therefore, not just its strength but the ratio of its strength and density.
For example, two common materials used for centrifuge rotors are aluminum and steel. Aluminum is only about a quarter as strong as steel but that lesser strength is compensated by a density that is a third lower, so the much weaker, but lighter, aluminum is able to spin almost as fast as the stronger, but heavier, steel.
High spin rates require very precise balance of the rotor so another critical technology is high precision machining of the rotor components. High speed, low wear and low friction bearing are also essential. Finally, UF 6 is highly corrosive so all parts that are exposed to the gas must be made of resistant materials.
No single centrifuge can achieve an adequate degree of enrichment and the amount of material that a single centrifuge can handle is small.
To process sufficient material, centrifuges, sometimes hundreds, are operated in parallel. Trump says Iran 'better be careful' as Tehran increases uranium enrichment. Iran announced in July that its stockpiles of enriched low-grade uranium had exceeded the kilogram limit set in the deal. President Hassan Rouhani later confirmed in September that the nation was using advanced models of centrifuges to enrich uranium. The nuclear deal was intended to limit Iran's civilian nuclear program and prevent it from developing nuclear weapons.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has insisted in the past that Iran is not in violation of the nuclear deal, because the US was the first to walk out on it.
