I've Been Thinking:
Three diplomats from the UN body responsible for monitoring nuclear development in Iran have anonymously asserted that Iran is cleaning up an area that is probably the site of a nuclear weapons experiment.
On Wednesday satellite photos were made public and the diplomats spoke to AP who reported their finding.
The location where the clean up is taking place is called Parchan. This is one of the sites that IAEA monitors wanted to visit during their last trip to Iran and were denied entry.
The assertion is that a neutron trigger was used in an experiment.
According to everyone in the nuclear world who studies this, there is only one use for a neutron trigger - activating a nuclear weapon. Its official name is an initiator and an initiator is what is needed to trigger the fission chain reaction of a nuclear weapon.
This is not news in the nuclear discussion world. People have been discussing Iran’s neutron triggers since 2007 and believe Iran had one as early as 2008.
The good news is that the polonium is very difficult to clean up and observers should be able to see what is happening in Iran.
