jan 10, 2012 - Uranium enrichment begins
Description:
Iran's uranium enrichment has begun in northern Iran at a nuclear facility. Iran has started the production of uranium enriched up to 20%. The U.S. State Department spokesman said that all materials of nuclear in the facility remain under the agency's control and surveillance. The uranium enriched by the Iranians is confirmed to be at the level which is inappropriate and is obviously a big problem. Enriched uranium at low concentrations can be used to fuel power plants, but once it's at an extremely high concentration, it can be used to produce a nuclear bomb, which is to be dangerous.
If Iran is enriching uranium to 20%, this is a further increase of their ongoing violations with regard to their nuclear responsibilities. The UN called for Iran once again to suspend their activities of enriching Uranium, fully cooperate them and immediately comply with all Security Council.
