Centrifuges

The current nuclear plan with Iran has many difficult parts and is not easy to figure out but there is one aspect that is totally confusing and that has to do with what is called, “breakout time”. This is estimated time it would take Iran to enrich enough uranium to build a bomb. The President says the current breakout time is three months and his plan will extend that to one year. The nuclear program in Iran was started in 1950 with the help of the United States and in 1985 they began the centrifuge program. They have been working on this for 30 years and now we are told that they are 3 months away from completion.
