Discovery of 83.7% Enriched Uranium Particles in Iran: UN

Tehran: Iran’s nuclear power plant has 83.7% enriched uranium, according to a United Nations watchdog.

In this regard, I. Na. The Council’s nuclear watchdog says, “Iran’s nuclear site has been found to have 83.7% enriched uranium. That is, on January 22nd, analysis results of environmental samples at Iran’s Fordo plant showed the presence of highly enriched uranium particles up to 83.7%.

Explaining this, Iran said it may have been caused by unexpected fluctuations during the enrichment process in November last year.

Meanwhile, on Monday Na. Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, while speaking at the General Assembly meeting, said, “Tehran is ready to renew the nuclear deal.”

Earlier, Iran’s senior leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while speaking at an event last year, said, “We are determined to acquire nuclear capabilities according to our country’s needs. Therefore, the ceiling for Iran’s enrichment will not be 20%. In fact, if Iran’s nuclear power needs it, uranium enrichment could be as high as 60 percent. If we think we should get nuclear weapons. “Israel and no other country can stop it,” he said.

Why this controversy? – Uranium is a naturally occurring element. These are mostly used for nuclear power related applications. The low-enriched uranium is commonly known as U-235. These have a concentration of 3-5%. These are mostly used to produce fuel for nuclear power plants.

Highly enriched uranium of 20% or more is used in nuclear research reactors. In particular, 90% enriched uranium is used to make nuclear weapons. Under the 2015 nuclear deal with China, France, Germany, Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom, Iran was only allowed to enrich 3.67% of uranium.

It is at this stage that Iran’s Ford nuclear plant has 83.7% enriched uranium. Na. has said.

Iran-US Conflict: A nuclear deal was signed in 2015 between 6 developed countries including the United States and Iran. This allowed Iran to enrich uranium for constructive purposes. However, limits were placed on how much uranium the country could stockpile and how much it could enrich. After Donald Trump took office as US president, he withdrew from the deal citing flaws. He also re-imposed economic sanctions on Iran.

In response, Iran repeatedly violated the terms of the nuclear deal. In November, Iran restarted uranium enrichment at a plant under a mountain at Fordo, south of Tehran, which was halted in 2015. Due to this, the conflict between Iran and America has intensified.
