VIENNA ? Diplomats say Iran is lagging behind on plans to increase production of uranium enriched to a grade that can be turned quickly into the material used to arm nuclear warheads.
They tell The Associated Press Friday that as of July 23 Tehran had not set up enriching equipment at a bunker planned for that purpose, and say Iran now plans to produce less of the higher-enriched uranium at the site than originally envisaged.
Diplomats say only half of the approximately 1,000 centrifuges to be installed ? instead of all ? will churn out higher-enriched uranium. The rest will produce material that is more difficult to turn into warhead cores
Plans were to have the enriching centrifuges installed by the end of July.
The diplomats asked for anonymity because their information is confidential.
