No such facility has been detected by U.S. spy satellites, and current intelligence estimates put the number of centrifuges acquired by Iran at about two dozen. With that number, says Mark Hibbs, European editor of Nucleonics Week, it would take eight to 10 years to produce enough U-235 for one bomb...
