Iran is stepping up centrifuge development work at the Natanz uranium enrichment complex, according to diplomats. Two larger cascades (164 machines each) of more advanced centrifuge models, the IR-4 and IR-2m, are being installed. Previously, these centrifuge models had only been tested individually or in small chains.
