February 8, 2010. Iran to step up enrichment
| SOURCE: | Corporate Risk International |
It was reported that Iran has told the United Nation's nuclear watchdog it will step up its nuclear program, raising Western fears that it is planning to make a bomb. The country's nuclear chief said earlier that Iran would start enriching uranium to 20 percent at Natanz, Iran's main uranium enrichment plant. The nuclear chief added that 10 new uranium enrichment plants would be built, which is a significant claim that has been viewed with skepticism by experts.
