The Natanz facility, in central Iran, is at the heart of the country's dispute with the UN Security Council.
In recent months, Tehran said it had begun installing more advanced centrifuge machines into the Natanz and Fordow facilities.
The Natanz facility, in central Iran, is at the heart of the country's dispute with the United Nations Security Council.
In any case, though Iran suggests it is racing ahead, the first 3, 000 centrifuges at Natanz have not worked that well.
Iran has told the UN nuclear agency it plans to upgrade uranium enrichment centrifuges at its Natanz plant, reports citing diplomats say.
Iran earlier reportedly told the UN nuclear agency it planned an upgrade at its Natanz plant, which would allow to refine uranium at a faster rate.
In 2003, cowed by the might deployed in removing Saddam Hussein, it opened up Natanz, and a nuclear reactor site at Arak that had also previously been secret, to IAEA inspection.
As if to underscore the point, yesterday the Iranian government ordered up 10 additional uranium enrichment plants on the scale of its already operational facility in Natanz, which has a planned capacity of 54, 000 centrifuges.
The IAEA later sent a letter to member states saying Iran had informed the agency of its plans to use the improved machines at its fuel enrichment plant in Natanz, according to a document seen by Reuters.
Tehran also notified the IAEA last week that it was installing more advanced centrifuge machines at its uranium-enrichment facility in the city of Natanz, potentially providing Iran the ability to triple its nuclear-fuel production at the site.
