Albright: Iran Has Enough Enriched Uranium to Produce a Nuclear Weapon in Three Weeks

David Albright, physicist and former weapons inspector, and founder and president of the Institute for Science and International Security, reports that based on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s quarterly safeguards report for November 17, 2021, Iran has enough 20% and 60% enriched uranium to produce enough weapon-grade uranium for a single nuclear weapon in three weeks.

In two months, Iran could produce enough enriched uranium for a second weapon. After about 3.5 months, it would have enough for a third weapon. Production of enough for a fourth weapon would take six months.

In essence, says Albright, Iran is effectively breaking out slowly.

In a new development, Iran installed 166 IR-6 centrifuges in a cascade at the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP). The installation of advanced centrifuges at the FFEP enhances Iran’s ability to break out using a declared but highly fortified facility.
