Iranian Nuke Sites Hit with ‘Sabotage’

Iranian authorities have prevented attempted sabotage at the country's heavy water nuclear reactor, a senior official said Saturday without giving specifics as to the nature of the attempted disruption or its suspected initiator.

Iranian officials revealed on Monday that several “new acts of sabotage” had taken place at its controversial Arak nuclear reactor facility and that other so-called “enemy plots” had been carried out at separate key nuclear sites.

The reported acts of sabotage were spotted during inspections of the facility by Iranian intelligence forces and later reported by the country’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), according to the Fars News Agency.

“Intelligence inspections of the nuclear facilities indicated that some pumps of the second circuitry of Arak’s IR40 project had undergone mechanical operations in a bid to disrupt the routine work of the power plant,” Asqar Zare’an, the AEOI’s deputy chief for nuclear protection and security, was quoted as saying over the weekend.

It is unclear how these faulty pumps made their way into the reactor and Iranian authorities have yet to name the contractor who imported them.

HA HA ... oh please. It's VERY clear how those faulty pumps go there. SImple human error. Someone in Iran screwed up and, instead of waiting to be sent to prison and death, they invent a mysterious unnamed foreign agent who somehow managed to put faulty pumps into a reactor. Yeah .. okay. If a high level international saboteur was going to try to take down Irans reactor, they'd do more than just inject a few faulty pumps that could get picked up on an inspection.

Not buying it.

I would not be surprised that we found out the pumps were made in the U.S. or Sweden's Flygt pumps.

More likely Russia or Iran itself. Reuters

Ahhh yes,...those infamous Swedish Flygt pumps.

Maybe they fitted Swedish made penis pumps by accident.

Nuthin' pumps like a Flygt!

It must have been Austin Powers.

Was there a Bond, James Bond, visiting Iran recently? He could have had a travelling companion named Pussy Galore.

Whatever the actual cause and problem, it is interesting to see a story coming out of Iran where they prevented an incident involving their nuke tech rather than falling victim. Well done Iran and good to see you getting your act together.
