I'm happy to take questions. 245 00:16:16,700 --> 00:16:21,400 The INR concluded late last year that these tubes are probably for artillery use. 246 00:16:21,300 --> 00:16:24,800 The DOE agreed they exactly matched those used by Iraq for artillery rockets. 247 00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,000 Where are the tubes? 248 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:27,300 WINPAC has them. 249 00:16:27,900 --> 00:16:29,100 We've examined them. 250 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,100 And this is my point.

I'm no nuclear expert 259 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,300 but Dr. Houston Wood at the University of Virginia Atomic Facility is. 260 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:11,800 He also knows Dr. Zippe and he told him that the wall thickness of the Iraqi tubes 261 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,500 was 3 or 4 times the thickness of his design. 262 00:17:14,900 --> 00:17:19,400 Right, and he also said that the length of the tubes is twice that of Zippe's design. 263 00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,700 In fact, he said that the only thing that was similar 264 00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:24,300 between his tubes and the aluminum tubes 265 00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:26,100 was that they were both made of aluminum. 266 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,600 A metal that hasn't been used in gas centrifuges since 1952. 267 00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:35,700 I went to Vienna.
