"The latest International Atomic Energy Agency report notably omits three research reactors at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology and Research Center, which raises concerns."
"One reactor, a miniature neutron source reactor made by China in 1991, functions with 900 grams of bomb-grade uranium, highlighting serious proliferation risks."
The recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) damage report notably omits specific details about three research reactors located at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology and Research Center in Iran. Among these, a Chinese-made miniature neutron source reactor, operational since 1991, utilizes 900 grams of bomb-grade uranium. This absence in the report could signify a significant oversight in assessing nuclear proliferation risks. As scrutiny increases, further satellite imagery is expected to provide more insights into the facilities and their operations.
