Here is Iran’s nuclear program – DN.se

Natanz

The large complex in central Iran is the most important facility. Here, up to 60 percent uranium is enriched. The enrichment takes place in two places, one of them underground. Natanz has on several occasions previously been subjected to Israeli sabotage.

Fordo

The second enrichment facility is located near the Holy City of Qom, southwest of Tehran. Here, 60 percent uranium is enriched far inside a mountain, which makes the plant difficult to attack. Iran is said to have built Fordo secretly. 2009 warned the United States that the size and capacity of the plant are not compatible with a peaceful energy program

Isfahan

On the outskirts of Iran’s second largest city Isfahan is a large nuclear center that is stated to handle and store uranium in several parts of the enrichment process. Here, there are also equipment that can be used to construct the core of an atomic bomb.

Khondab (formerly known as Arak)

Here, about 25 miles southwest of Tehran, parts of a research reactor for heavy water have been built. Heavy water reactors can produce plutonium which, like enriched uranium, can be used to make atomic bombs. Construction was canceled in 2015, according to the then nuclear agreement between Iran and Western powers. However, Iran has announced plans to start using the reactor again in 2026.

Bushehr

In the city of Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, Iran’s only nuclear power plant is in use. Here, Russian fuel is used, which is then also sent back to Russia to reduce the risk of spread.

Tehran

In the capital there are Iran’s research facilities for nuclear energy. There is also a research reactor here.
