Higher enrichment at Iranian site

None

The UN atomic agency has found evidence at an underground bunker in Iran that could mean the country has moved closer to producing the uranium threshold needed to arm nuclear missiles, diplomats said Friday.

 

The International Atomic Energy Agency has found traces of uranium enriched up to 27% at Iran's Fordo enrichment plant, above Iran's highest-known enrichment grade, which is close to 20%, and which already can be turned into weapons-grade material much more quickly. (AP)
