They are hiding something or they want us to think they are hiding something. Either way it's time to find out what is behind the secret door.

By removing or covering over the soil that was irradiated. A mere 3.5ft would reduce the signature to near or at background [naturally occurring] levels.

such the timely 'revelation' we have here, though
but, then again, the denial and delaying of inspections would have allowed for sufficient time to do so

Things sure are ramping up rather quickly it seems.
Protection from gamma radiation can be achieved with as little as 4 feet of dirt cover or 3 feet of concrete cover. Every 4 inches of dirt (and 3 inches of concrete) gives a halving thickness, or protection factor (PF) of 2. Ten halving thickness is required to diminish (attenuate) medium to high levels of radiation to an acceptable level.
The release of ionizing radiation, however, is a phenomenon unique to nuclear explosions and is an additional casualty producing mechanism superimposed on blast and thermal effects.

How is it that they know that earth movers imply nuclear activity?
I know it's a stupid question. The unnamed diplomats cited as a source might have had other intelligence, but the only thing they are using as an indicator is "earth-movers'? And from there they speculate on neutron-initiators and radioactivity?
That can't be right.

Looks like iran is cleaning up traces of nuclear waste. Why would they do this

AP Exclusive: Iran may be cleaning up nuke work
By GEORGE JAHN
Associated Press
Iran razed the Lavizan Shian complex in northern Iran five years ago before allowing IAEA inspectors to visit the suspected repository of military procured equipment that could be used in a nuclear weapons program. Tehran said the site had been demolished to make way for a park, but inspectors subsequently found traces of uranium enriched to or near the level used in making the core of nuclear warheads.
The Iranians also embarked on an extensive redo at the Kalay-e Electric Co., just west of Tehran, before agency inspectors were given access nine years ago. Although the site was re-painted and otherwise sanitized, samples taken from Kalay-e also showed traces of enriched uranium, though at levels substantially below warhead grade.
Asked for comment, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iran's chief delegate to the IAEA, told the AP he would not discuss any nuclear issues until after he delivered his statement to the agency's 35-nation board meeting Thursday. IAEA officials also said they could not comment.
Attention most recently focused on Parchin several days ago, when senior IAEA officials first spoke of unexplained activities at the site without saying what they could be and said an inspection of buildings there was taking on added urgency.
IAEA expert teams trying to probe the suspicions of secret weapons work by Iran tried — and failed — twice in recent weeks to get Iranian permission to visit Parchin. Tehran then said on Monday that such a visit would be granted.
But it said that a comprehensive agreement outlining conditions of such an inspection must first be agreed on — move dismissed by a senior international official familiar with the issue as a delaying tactic. He, too, asked not to be named because the matter was sensitive.

Wahaha, my thoughts exactly.
If people go looking for "proof" of something that they want to be there, they are going to "find" "proof" of what they want to see. Maybe they keep moving nuclear fuel enrichment facilities because they think they are going to be bombed at any moment by Israel/US.
Oh and dude, your avatar is wicked sweet. Ron Swanson is the man.

No one ever claimed they have a nuke. The accusations have been the ability to make one, and that has been consistent.
Secondly they are not stating a nuclear test detonation occured, but a trigger test (needed to set off a nuclear explosion). Parchin is the site that was targeted as having a blast building present that was used to test detonation triggers (what the article is talking about).
