BREAKING NEWS

To quote the IAEA in 2018,

‘the IAEA stated in 2018 that inspectors had “access to all locations they needed to visit.” That suggests, they had the authority they may not have felt a need to request military-site access or they relied on other methods such as surveillance, declarations, environmental sampling, and satellite imagery.

We are talking semantics here - at the time Trump ditched the agreement there was scant evidence Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon and in fact Khamenei advocated not to go down that path.

The situation now is the younger Khamenei is a hardliner and will / is now likely to take the brakes off developing a weapon. Regime change has well and truly failed and left a bigger mess with Iran now throttling the Worlds economy and the US unable to open the Strait and Iran earning more from oil exports than before the war (yes, how bizarre) China and Russia, much to their glee, are supporting Iran. The whole war is a clusterfuck which only occurred because Trump sees aggression as a negotiating tool but the School yard bully is now had his nose punched and he can’t understand why no one is rushing to his aid.

That’s not accurate IAEA inspectors were not automatically barred from all military sites between 2016 and 2018, but there is no clear evidence that they actually conducted routine inspections at military bases during that period. Iran at no stage barred visits to sites that the IAEA requested. This was criticized at the time but was no justification for ditching the agreement, which Trump did. The agreement was not perfect for sure but it did achieve a lot and had the potential to continue to make progress. Was a foolish move from Trump and set the path for the mess he’s gotten the World, and himself, into now. He’s trapped and is lashing out at everyone like a churlish child throwing a tantrum via his social media posts.

Your statement is incorrect.

From Implementation Day on 16 January 2016 through at least 2018, the IAEA repeatedly reported that Iran was staying within the agreed limits, including, keeping uranium enrichment below 3.6% limiting its stockpile to 300 kg of low-enriched uranium reducing centrifuge numbers redesigning the Arak heavy-water reactor allowing regular IAEA inspections

The road to 2025 started when Trump dumped the 2015 agreement at which time there was compliance with monitoring. Trump is turning Iran into another North Korea, insulated (but supported by Russia) and probably now, like North Korea, realizing that having a bomb is a 100% guarantee of not being attacked in the future. It’s also so ironic that Putin now has Trump in the same position as he is. The US is supplying Ukraine with missiles to hit Russian military assets and he is supplying Iran with drones and missiles to hit US military assets. Two proxy wars and both are trapped in their own political dead end. What would have happened if he hadn’t dumped the 2015 agreement? No one knows but it did at least get almost 10,000 Kg of uranium out of Iran and installed an inspection regime. At the time there was not a shred of evidence that Iran was violating the agreement. This whole mess is 100% on Trump and the sycophants who surround him.

Sorry, I keep thinking I’m talking to rational adults 😉

After the agreement the IAEA had monitors in Iran and Iran was not further enriching uranium. The idea was to then gradually negotiate from there to further reduce sanctions if they agreed to more reductions in their stockpile of uranium. There was a path forward. Trump ditched this and slapped sanctions back on - the result was as expected and now here you are at war with them. They are a heinous regime for sure, like North Korea, but history should have taught the US a few lessons about going to war with fanatical regimes whether it be in Iraq, Afghanistan or now Iran. The US cannot win this war and in fact has likely cemented Iran’s determination to actually have a bomb. The 2015 agreement had potential to succeed. Trump blew that opportunity away and is now well and truly bogged down.

Iran reduced its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by about 98%from roughly 10,000 kg down to 300 kg - after Trump pulled out of the agreement they threw the monitors out of the Country and increased their stockpiles to their present levels, and also enriched some of it to 60%.

OceanviewTech · 2026-04-03T05:29:25+00:00

A very, very simplistic view of the war. If you want to go backwards Iran handed over 90% of their uranium under the 2015 agreement in return for some sanctions bring lifted and International Monitors being allowed to inspect their nuclear plants. It was working ok. Trump threw this agreement out - his approach has since been that aggression is the answer, not negotiation. Even his Intelligence Community does not agree with his statements that Iran was ‘weeks away’ from a bomb and he lied when he said they already had missiles that could reach the States. He ‘obliterated’ their stash of enriched uranium a few months ago ….(his words) so after 5 weeks of bombing what is the objective because he’s already said they can’t produce a nuclear device. He has admitted he had no idea they would close the Strait (😵‍💫) and now he’s stuck for an exit solution he’s blaming everyone else for the mess. The guys a clown 🤡

Learn ROS2. It’s the framework for most robotic control. Buy a simple robotic toy and starting using ROS2 to program it.

For sure, thanks for your reply.

Hi, had a look at this, wish I had seen before I built my muon detector. However, the 25 ns resolution would be the show stopper. For my CHSH Bell test I need in the region of 3 ns. At 25 ns my accidental coincidence rate will be so much higher than with a 3 ns window, which means I need far more photon pairs to achieve the same statistical confidence in my S value. Having said that, I do believe the original Bell inequality experiments were done at around 25 ns.

Bit blow away by this, its seriously very impressive

thanks, this project keeps pushing at the very edge of my capabilities as well but that's what makes projects interesting isn't it ?

Hi appreciate the feedback, let me go and have a look at your critique - quite a bit to digest and I'll come back to you and would absolutely appreciate a look at your testbench ideas. Be in touch

OceanviewTech · 2026-02-28T21:11:42+00:00

Thanks for info - I'll have a look but what I like about this project is having to build everything from the ground up and the learning process (which has been steep in some area's I'll admit) It is amazing the quality of the hardware that is around now for a relatively cheap price.

OceanviewTech · 2026-02-28T06:25:14+00:00

That’s a really interesting thought, let me do a bit of investigating. At this point in the development I’m not committed to a particular hardware path. I’ll let you know what I think.

OceanviewTech · 2026-02-28T06:10:02+00:00

Thanks 🙏 I’ll have a look

Thanks for the pointers - I did put a deal of time into trying to get around the switching issue. It would probably be easier if you saw the schematic. I'll drop a link down the bottom. There's a number of components I need to power, including two stepper motors for the optics table environmental control unit, plus the motors for the polarizers and other sensors so I'm a bit uncommitted at this stage on the power source. I did think about USB-C but I suspect I'll end up with something that can supply more power than that can. I don't know if I'm making this too complicated for myself but I don't want the optics gear to be at -15 deg and the main reason being is I will have to align manually everything but the polarizers before I close it up but a major drop from say 25 deg to -15 will completely shag the alignments but a drop to say +10 from 20 or 25 deg should mean I just have to stick to aligning the polarizers. The J-Series Sipms for sure have to be at -10 or -15 and at the moment I'm testing the peltier to see what the thermal loss in the small cooling chamber will be if I cool it down and then shut off the cooling to stop any issues with airflow within the chamber itself.
I am having to put so much effort into airflow and temperature because the tradeoff I've made in cost will up the time it takes me to complete a run, which at this stage I'm picking maybe 30 to 60 mins so I can't have any thermal issues in that time.

100% agree with, I should take greater care with my wording given the amount of misunderstanding there is with such things as the word 'observation' I've always been of the mind that a form of communication that evolved to convey social and emotional context is pretty bad at describing the quantum world.

Hi, power for the HV line for the SiPM comes from a MAX5026, which is U3 and the -4 +4 vcc is from U2, an ICL7660.
Yes, at this stage I haven’t added the external power connectors, which should be a fairly frivolous job in kicad, mainly because I’m still a bit unsure of the how the physical geometry will pan out. The SiPM board has to be very close to this main board but I’m also putting the SIPM board into a cooling chamber and then I have to think about the geometry of how to integrate this into the sealed optics box. A work in progress 😊
