Ahmadinejad: Iran has 'fully mastered' nuclear technology
Iran announced Friday it has advanced its nuclear technology, unveiling new, faster centrifuges and celebrating "giant steps" forward.
In a speech celebrating National Nuclear Day, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad slammed "selfish behavior" by "arrogant" countries that have tried to negotiate a halt to Iran's nuclear activity. As he spoke, a crowd chanted "God is great" and "Death to America."
"Today, Iranian scientists and experts have fully mastered the nuclear and have been taking giant steps and moving at full pace towards meeting all domestic needs and making proper use of home-grown potential in the field of nuclear energy," Ahmadinejad said.Officials unveiled what they called a "third generation" of centrifuges six times faster than the ones currently being used.
イラン側は自前で燃料を製造するとして、核兵器への転用を疑う国際社会の反発を受けている。イランには濃縮技術はあっても、燃料棒の成形技術はないとみられる。
イランは北朝鮮産のウラン原料を密輸したと言われている。怖いなぁ。核兵器がテロの手に渡ったらどうなるんだろう・・
