As long as its only 60% enriched, it probably doesn't matter much as long as the enrichment facility was taken out so they can't process it further.

- amanaplanacanal 1y agoAt least we think the facility was taken out. We still don't really know.
- perihelions 1y agoThe unfortunate asterisk is that enriching from 60% to 90% takes comparatively little time and equipment. We're not absolutely certain there isn't another small, yet-undiscovered, secret enrichment plant. Here's highly-cited nuclear weapons expert Jeffrey Lewis: > "Let's say Iran decides to rush a bomb. Iran can install ~1.5 cascades a week. In six weeks, it could have 9 cascades of IR-6 machines. It would take those machines about 60 days to enrich all 400 kg to WGU. Altogether that's about five months although IMMV." https://bsky.app/profile/armscontrolwonk.bsky.social/post/3lsagielkcc2l https://bsky.app/profile/armscontrolwonk.bsky.social/post/3l...
