Iran begins producing enriched uranium at 60 percent purity at the country's underground Fordow nuclear plant in response to a resolution by the UN nuclear watchdog
Iran has announced its decision to ramp up the production of uranium at an underground nuclear facility in response to the recent resolution passed by the UN nuclear watchdog.
Enrichment to 60 percent purity is one short, technical step away from weapons-grade level of 90 percent. Iranian authorities say the measures are reversible if the US returns to the deal it abandoned in May 2018 and lifts sanctions imposed by the previous US administration.Iran also announced that two new centrifuge cascades, IR-2m and IR-4, were reviewed and operated at the Natanz nuclear facility in the central Isfahan province, while two others will be fed in the coming days.
The UN watchdog's 35-member board of governors passed a resolution last week, asking Iran to urgently cooperate with its investigation into uranium traces found at three undeclared sites.
