Jun 2006, Vol. 151, No. 3
By Andrew Brookes
There is much sabre-rattling over Iran's nulcear activities. Although Tehran is some years away from producing a nuclear weapon, it is within months of mastering the techniques for operating a cascade of centrifuges. Thereafter, it could install cascades at clandestine facilities and produce fissile material for a nuclear weapon.
