weapons grade material to make an atomic bomb in as little as a month. national security correspondence is live from the pentagon taking a closer look at this report. why is this new report giving this time line? essentially it s significant because it comes from one of the top u.s. nuclear website, a former iaea weapons center. he monitors iran s nuclear program as closely as any non government group in this country. their conclusion released last week, iran could produce enough weapons grade highly enriched uranium in as little as a month. that s vastly shorter than what the obama administration has repeatedly said it would take iran a year to have enough uranium for a bomb. we ve been hearing those estimates for years now. david allbright, former weapons inspector, concludes iran would have to eliminate more than half of the 19,000 centrifuges to extend the time it would take it to build a bomb to six months.
