10 YEARS MY ASS

What's wrong with this picture?
“An Iranian technician works at the Uranium Conversion Facility nearly 255 miles south of Tehran, Iran. According to a report by the IAEA, 'Iran has not suspended its enrichment-related activities.' “(AP)

Why is this guy wearing protective clothing in a control room? A control room in a nuclear facility should be a safe area. Either there is a major contamination problem or he has come from a "dirty" area without de-contaminating. Or this is just a set-up photo. More crap out of Iran. Lets hope they contaminate themselves to death.

IAEA: Iran Defies Deadline on Nuclear Program

“VIENNA -- The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said on Thursday Iran had failed to meet a February 21 deadline to suspend enrichment of uranium, exposing Tehran to possible new sanctions over concerns it seeks to produce an atomic bomb.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report Iran had installed two cascades, or networks, of 164 centrifuges in its underground Natanz enrichment plant with another two cascades close to completion.
This amounted to an effort to escalate research-level enrichment of nuclear fuel into "industrial scale" production.
"Iran has not suspended its enrichment-related activities," said the confidential IAEA report, obtained by Reuters.
Analysts said this was proof that Iran was speeding up the installation of the apparatus needed to enrich significant quantities of uranium to give it a stronger hand in any future negotiations with the West.
"What I would say is that it's now trying to give the impression that it can move quickly to install a large number of cascades and enrich uranium ... We'll see what happens, but I would say that they're enriching uranium faster than commonly expected," said David Albright, director at the Institute for Science and International Security.
The report also said Iran remained far away from enriching uranium in quantities suitable for use in nuclear energy plants.”

“A senior U.N. official familiar with IAEA operations in Iran said Tehran had produced a minute amount of the feed material. Given quality-control problems and inexperience, Iran probably remains three to 10 years away from accumulating enough high-enriched uranium for the core of atom bombs -- assuming it wants them, intelligence estimates and independent analysts say.”

Yeah, right. It only took the US 36 months to produce the first atomic bomb, from scratch, including all the research and engineering. Iran has the advantage of 50 years of international engineering and help from at least three nuclear powers.

10 years my ass.
