TEHRAN: Iran says it has built a new generation of centrifuges for enriching uranium, and is testing them.
The head of Iran’s nuclear agency made the announcement but did not say when they would be ready to go into production at the Natanz atomic plant.
Centrifuges can be used to produce fuel for nuclear power and also to make nuclear weapons.
The announcement comes a few days before Iran enters fresh talks on its controversial nuclear programme.
“Our scientists have built a new generation of centrifuges, and cascades with 10 centrifuges each are now being tested,” said Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran.
