Fears of Nuclear Contamination As Israel Strikes Damage Iran's Underground Centrifuge Halls | Natanz

There appear to have been "direct impacts" on the underground part of Iran's Natanz nuclear site during Israel's attacks, the UN's atomic watchdog said on Tuesday (June 17).The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had initially said Monday (June 16) it had "no indication" to that effect, estimating that only the above-ground part of the uranium enrichment plant had been damaged, along with the electrical infrastructure.However, "based on continued analysis of high resolution satellite imagery collected after Friday's attacks, the IAEA has identified additional elements that indicate direct impacts on the underground enrichment halls at Natanz," the UN body said on X.Natanz operates nearly 70 cascades of centrifuges at its two enrichment plants, one of which is underground. A cascade is a series of centrifuges -- the machines used to enrich uranium. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:55 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A NUCLEAR FACILITY IS ATTACKED?5:20 ISRAEL’S OWN SECRET NUKE ARSENAL IN THE SPOTLIGHT
