On “Nuclear Iran” Allegations: Nanodiamonds Ain’t Nuclear Bombs

After having read the main article highlighted below it seems that Iran has been acquiring technology to create nanodiamonds,and has plans on producing them on a industrial scale.

It also shows the similarities involved in using these technologies and how they could be misinterpreted to the general public as Iran actually having abilities for Nuclear technology,when in fact it's for something completely different.

" The Washington Posts alleges that the IAEA says foreign expertise has brought Iran to threshold of nuclear capability.

Intelligence provided to U.N. nuclear officials shows that Iran’s government has mastered the critical steps needed to build a nuclear weapon, receiving assistance from foreign scientists to overcome key technical hurdles, according to Western diplomats and nuclear experts briefed on the findings.

Documents and other records provide new details on the role played by a former Soviet weapons scientist who allegedly tutored Iranians over several years on building high-precision detonators of the kind used to trigger a nuclear chain reaction, the officials and experts said. Crucial technology linked to experts in Pakistan and North Korea also helped propel Iran to the threshold of nuclear capability, they added.

A Ukrainian expert for creating nanodiamands is described as “weapon scientist” and “nuclear scientist” even when all his published work is about the synthesizing of very small diamonds:

Documents and other records provide new details on the role played by a former Soviet weapons scientist who allegedly tutored Iranians over several years on building high-precision detonators of the kind used to trigger a nuclear chain reaction, the officials and experts said.

According to the intelligence provided to the IAEA, key assistance in both areas was provided by Vyacheslav Danilenko, a former Soviet nuclear scientist who was contracted in the mid-1990s by Iran’s Physics Research Center, a facility linked to the country’s nuclear program. Documents provided to the U.N. officials showed that Danilenko offered assistance to the Iranians over at least five years, giving lectures and sharing research papers on developing and testing an explosives package that the Iranians apparently incorporated into their warhead design, according to two officials with access to the IAEA’s confidential files.

This is a detonation tank to create nanodiamonds, not a nuclear device.


One thing I found very interesting was the announcement which desrcibed that for the first time "Diamond powder in nano scale will be produced for the first time in Iran in cooperation with a Belarusian company. Nanodiamond is widely used in different industries, especially as an additive to oil engines."

Nanodiamond reduces fuel consumption in cars and engine depreciation, and increases oil engine functionality and car parts durability, he stressed.

The effect of adding 100CC nanodiamond to engine oil will remain up to three times of oil replacement, so it will reduce depreciation costs by significantly, he noted.

Seems Iran is on the forefront in using nano-tech,the value of having abilities to expand the depreciation of oil is very significant to developing sustainability.

I am really confused as to why they would add nano diamonds to oil to be used in a combustion engine. Diamonds are one of the hardest substances on earth, and it seems they would cause excessive wear.

Does this add to the present if#s and buts//

For it does state how the IAEA report will not be released until Wednesday.

reply to post by mileysubet
it is used in oil to well this does the explaining a lot better than i can www.nabond.com... still looking for the smoking gun this could be the smoking gun hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu... and the reason why nanodiamonds back in a sec i'm back www.zpenergy.com... add 2 and 2 you get baked desert

if mixed with nano epoxy would it make armor or armor plating.maybe using high frequency sound to get all the diamonds to vibrate and lock into each other.maybe super concrete for buildings.

and if put in a war head big boom in a small package according to Russians that is 2010 article on the use of nanodiamonds www.spiegel.de... so you see they could be very very close to smoking the rabbit... Israel

Vyacheslav Danilenko, a Ukranian scientist,who was named by the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog the IAEA to have been the foreign expert who had been contracted by Iran’s Physics Research Center in the mid-1990s and identified him as a “former Soviet nuclear scientist, " who helped Iran with it's nuclear programme.

But it turns out that the foreign expert, who is not named in the IAEA report [.pdf] but was identified in news reports as Vyacheslav Danilenko, is not a nuclear weapons scientist but one of the top specialists in the world in the production of nanodiamonds by explosives.

Okay let's have a look at an excerpt from the IAEA official report which does not name Danilenko specifically,but does refer to the foreign expert who supposedly assisted Iran in it's development of a high explosives initiation system.

The Agency has strong indications that the development by Iran of the high explosives initiation system, and its development of the high speed diagnostic configuration used to monitor related experiments, were assisted by the work of a foreign expert who was not only knowledgeable in thesetechnologies, but who, a Member State has informed the Agency, worked for much of his career with this technology in the nuclear weapon programme of the country of his origin. The Agency has reviewed publications by this foreign expert and has met with him. The Agency has been able to verify through three separate routes, including the expert himself, that this person was in Iran from about 1996 to about 2002, ostensibly to assist Iran in the development of a facility and techniques for making ultra-dispersed diamonds (“UDDs” or “nanodiamonds”), where he also lectured on explosion physics and its applications.

This not only substantiates Danilenko experience with nanodiamonds,but the IAEA also jumped the gun when they said he had worked much of his career with his knowledge of high explosive initiation systems in a nuclear program,which is not true.

Here is another article titled " Vyacheslav Danilenko, Russian scientist, denies helping Iran build bomb."

A report released this week by the U.N. nuclear agency said a "foreign expert" had assisted Iran with developing an advanced detonator essential for triggering a nuclear chain reaction. The Washington Post identified him as Vyacheslav Danilenko, a scientist who had worked on the Soviet nuclear program.

The newspaper Kommersant reported that it had spoken to the 76-year-old Danilenko, and quoted him as saying: "I am not a nuclear scientist and I am not the founder of the Iranian nuclear program."
