Get to know the three nuclear plants of Iran that were attacked by the USA

Fordow It has the capacity to operate 3,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium, but currently works with 2,700. The estimates are from Aeea (International Atomic Energy Agency), UN program for nuclear issues.

Plant supposedly can produce purer degrees of uranium than Natanz. Although it is a smaller complex compared to Natanzthis capacity makes it militarily more significant. For the main western powers, those who can enrich 60% purity uranium can enrich 90% – used to the production of more powerful nuclear weapons.

Unique images of the plant were made by satellites. The photographs reveal the existence of white structures, which would be the entrances that lead to the underground part, where the machinery operates in uranium enrichment. Built since the early 2000s, the plant was only officially revealed in 2009.

Plant of Natanz

The plant of Natanz It is considered the “heart” of the Iranian nuclear program. Erected in the province of Isfahansouth of Tehran, the complex is divided into two parts: one underground, protected from air attacks, and one above the ground, which was seriously damaged in the recent Israeli bombing, according to the head of AeeaRafael Gossui.
