Iran Watch: Iran's nuclear timetable: "amount of low-enriched uranium Iran has stockpiled, and the amount it is believed to be producing each month, the Wisconsin Project estimates that by December 2008, Iran had accumulated enough U-235 to fuel one bomb -- assuming Iran decided to further enrich the low-enriched material to weapon-grade. The Project further estimates that by the end of 2009, Iran had enough U-235 to fuel a second bomb; that Iran had enough of this material for a third bomb by August 2010; and that Iran had enough of this material for a fourth bomb by last April 2011 -- in each case assuming that Iran decided raise the level of U-235 in its low-enriched uranium stockpile (3.5 percent U-235) to weapon-grade (90 percent or more U-235).
As Iran increases its stockpile of low-enriched uranium, it will consolidate its status as a 'virtual' nuclear weapon state."
