In Fact, the Uranium "gun assembly" bomb did not need testing in 1945. The hardest bomb is the implosion device.

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad why don’t you tease the Dragons Tail?
You might learn something useful. And solve one of our problems.

This is what the centrifuge factory looks like at the Qom facility

Centrifuges (cyclotrons) contributed U235 to the Hiroshima bomb in 1945, and Iran has modern centrifuges today. A centrifuge is not a cyclotron and as far as I know from reading quite a lot about the Manhattan Project, neither of these was involved in obtaining the U235 for the Hiroshima bomb. The Manhattan Project used gaseous diffusion and calutrons (large mass spectrometers).

Centrifuges (cyclotrons) contributed U235 to the Hiroshima bomb in 1945, and Iran has modern centrifuges today. This represents a confusion. The cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator which, in the form of the Calutron was used to separate U235, as described. The centrifuge is more closely related to the gas diffusion technique implemented on a massive scale at Oak Ridge.

If my memory is correct I think the article describes the wrong isotopes. U235 was used on the “little boy” and the most common isotope is U236 which makes it hard to separate the U-235 from. That is why they used a cyclotron to change the atomic structure to U238 (plutonium) which could be successfully.

I think the article is a disinformation piece. There are several points that do not jive with what I have read about the process.
There may be a good reason to do that.
Krazy Rags with Nukes are a dangerous thought.
Any previous “President” would have dealt with this type of threat. The “one” who sleeps in the White House will not. He is in love with the Mullahs, and all the rest of the petty dictators.
