Iran making nuke fuel at Natanz

Vienna - Iran is making nuclear fuel in its underground uranium enrichment plant, a confidential UN nuclear watchdog document said on Wednesday.
The paper, obtained by Reuters, also said Tehran had started
up more than 1 300 centrifuge machines - divided into eight
cascades - in the Natanz complex, in a drive to lay
a basis for "industrial scale" enrichment.
Both moves intensified Iran's defiance of UN security
council resolutions demanding that it stop enriching uranium
over fears Tehran's professed civilian nuclear fuel programme is a possible cover, while it masters the means to build atomic bombs.
