Iran has started manufacturing enriched uranium that is 60% purity in the underground Fordo nuclear plant, according to official media. The semi-official news agency IRNA stated that Iran provided of the International Atomic Energy Agency of (IAEA) in a letter, “Iran has begun enriching uranium at Fordo site to 60% purity, using advanced centrifuges IR-6.” This goes against the United States-led UN Security Council resolution last month that demanded Iran end its uranium enrichment at Fordo. The Iranian SNN network said Tehran will be building the latest set of centrifuges on it Natanz and Fordow nuclear facilities.
1. What is the Iranian Fordo nuclear facility?
The Iran’s Fordo nuclear power plant is to be found in Iran. It’s utilized for uranium enrichment. Since 2006, the facility is operating and has the capacity to enrich uranium up to 60 percent. International Atomic Energy Agency oversees the plant. Around 20 miles away from Qom located in Iran in the country of Iran, the Fordo nuclear power plant could be located. It’s constructed as mountains, and has been built to be resistant to airstrikes. This plant is used for enriching uranium. It is the process to increase the amount of uranium-235 elements within the atoms of uranium. Since 2006, the plant is increasing the amount of uranium that is enriching to up to 60 100% purity. International Atomic Energy Agency oversees the plant.
2. Does Iran making use of SNN?
In light of the announcement that Iran has begun enriching the purity of uranium up to 60% at the Fordo underground site, it is important to comprehend the country’s SNN network. The SNN is an acronym that stands that stands for Supreme National Security Council, and is accountable for the formulation of Iran’s nuclear policy. It is composed of presidents, heads of Parliament as well as the Judiciary as well as senior military leaders. The Iran-Contra Affair led to the establishment of the SNN.

4. What exactly is do the International Atomic Energy Agency do?
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is an international body with the aim of promoting the peaceful usage of nuclear energy, and to inhibit its use in military applications. It was established in the year 1957. IAEA is the leading authority on nuclear energy. The mission of the IAEA is laid out in the Article II in its Statute which states that the Agency will strive to speed up and expand the role of nuclear energy to security, prosperity and peace across the globe. The IAEA works with its Member States and other partners to facilitate the peaceful application of nuclear technology and assist in stopping its widespread use.
A Short Summary
It is obvious that Iran is enriching uranium by up to 60% at it’s underground Fordo plant. The UN nuclear watchdog called for more Tehran cooperation. Iran is currently enriching the purity of uranium, which can reach 60 percent purity elsewhere far below the 90% required for weapons grade. The latest news comes as a blow to any hopes of revival of this year’s Iran nuclear agreement, which contained a limit on Iran’s enrichment of uranium.
