The Times had the documents which were originally written in Farsi translated into English and the translation separately verified by two Farsi speakers.
This is a full translation of the main document:
"In the name of God
Outlook for special neutron-related activities over the next 4 years
Introduction
The general document that refers to the special duties of the neutron group mentions four main topics that cover special neutron-related activities, namely:
1. Calculation and simulation
2. Production of source materials
3. Source assembly
4. Design and performance of experiments to test the source
The fourth item is dependent upon the ease of finding methods for detecting pulsed neutrons obtained from hot and cold sources at various stages. In this introduction we will describe below the programme for special neutron-related activities. We have also endeavoured to prioritise each subject in the light of the current political climate and our existing capabilities.
Priority programmes for finding methods for detecting pulsed neutrons obtained from hot and cold sources
1-1 Providing the required detectors and electronic equipment
At present, our capabilities are reasonably good, although obviously not complete. The rest of requirements must be defined as probable routine project requirements and purchased, designed and made accordingly. In order to achieve this goal, meetings must first be arranged between the Centre's neutron experts and its scientific consultants. On completing the required investigations, these shortcomings should be identified and a method of meeting our requirements should be investigated.
1-2 Designing and performing experiments to detect pulsed neutrons obtained from pulse sources, for example, from NG (neutron generator) and PF (plasma focus) pulsed sources
The studies already performed, on which a report will be issued in the very near future, indicate that there should be no adverse or destructive consequences in using the existing NGs. As a result, provided that the necessary security and protective measures are adopted, we should be able to use the existing NGs to conduct the pulsed-neutron detection experiments and to complete some of the previous experiments. Performing these experiments would enable our personnel to gain more knowledge of the subject. In spite of this and considering the country’s present situation and considering the Centre's policy is to develop co-operation with research and univsersity centres in order to carry out the projects outside of the Centre and play a steering and leading role of the projects, it is better to carry out the work PF and NG systems at other research centres. To promote the Centre's aims, a reciprocal agreement should be drawn up between the Institute of Physics and the universities and research centres so as to facilitate the above-mentioned projects. In view of the existing co-operation between Shaheed Beheshti University and the Institute of Physics, initially a reciprocal agreement should be drawn up whereby, as soon as the situation allows and Shaheed Beheshti University is ready, the NG system should be transferred to the University and the relative projects be performed there with the co-operation of experts from the Centre. As regards the document that covers ordinary activities, the production of other PF samples is still achievable. It is possible, by protecting our capability regarding PFs at Shaheed Beheshti University, to produce more samples by mutual co-operation, then present these samples to other research centres for marketing purposes.
1-3 Creating experimental conditions similar to real conditions in order to detect pulsed neutrons obtained from hot sources
1-4 Designing and performing source detection experiments
1-4-1 Designing and performing detection experiments using NGs and PFs
1-4-2 Designing and performing detection experiments using a hot source
2 - Producing materials and assembling the source
2-1 Setting up the reactor again to produce D gas to meet the requirements of PF systems that cannot produce such gas
2-2 Designing and building suitable mobile laboratories
2-3 Setting up the reactor again that produces the materials and placing it in the Glove Box
2-4 Installing and setting up the equipment required to produce source materials in the mobile laboratories
2-5 Assembling the source for the required tests
2-6 Continuing the work of replacement materials such as TiD2 in order to avoid U contamination in the production of UD3
3 - Performing the calculations and special simulations
3-1 Performing calculations and completing the neutron-related calculations regarding the source
3-2 Performing calculations regarding source hydrodynamics
3-3 Designing the system for testing source materials
Requirements to achieve the programme's goals
1 - Creating the appropriate conditions for conducting the experiments
2 - Providing the manpower to carry out the research and perform the work required to protect the scope of the activities. This work cannot usually be defined and performed by other research centres so essentially needs to be carried out by trustworthy personnel within the organisation. In some areas, there are currently insufficient numbers of personnel to cover the field of neutron calculation. Of course, it is not necessary to employ official staff but, if they are to be employed, specific safeguards must first be put in place. The most appropriate way of obtaining the required personnel is to employ individuals who were involved in the relevant calculation projects in the past.
3 - Taking decisions on finding the appropriate location to conduct experiments which cannot in practice be conducted within the Institute. Furthermore, decisions must be taken regarding the locations where such experiments used to be conducted.
Important considerations
For this project we require two individuals with doctoral degrees. Each of them must work 80 hours per month for a total of 4,160 man-hours, of which 1,280 man-hours must be provided by the Institute (900 man-hours in the form of specialised work and 380 man-hours in the form of ordinary work). This work will be performed with the co-operation of Messrs ……… from the Institute. The remaining work (2,880 man-hours) will be performed in the form of calculation activities, shared between hourly-paid workers under the responsibility of Dr M.
For this project we also require four individuals with masters degrees. Each of them must work an average of 230 hours per month. These individuals must work a total of 21,920 man-hours, of which 3,920 man-hours must be provided by the Institute (2,220 man-hours in the form of specialised work and 1,700 man-hours in the form of ordinary work). This work will be performed with the co-operation of Messrs ……. from the Institute. The remaining work (18,000 man-hours) will be performed in the form of calculation activities, shared between hourly-paid workers under the responsibility of Dr M.
For this project we require two individuals with masters degrees. Each of them must work an average of 50 hours per month. These individuals must work a total of 2,525 man-hours, which must be provided by the Institute (1,250 man-hours in the form of specialised work and 1,275 man-hours in the form of ordinary work). This work will be performed with the co-operation of Messrs ……… of the Institute.
The calculation work (Sections 21 to 45) will be performed under the direction of Dr M, after the Committee has approved the recruitment of the required personnel."
