Iran's Uranium Facility Attacked, No Radiation Leak Reported

On March 28, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran announced that a 'yellowcake' production facility in Ardakan, Yazd Province, was attacked by U.S. and Israeli forces. According to BlockBeats, initial investigations indicate that no radioactive material has leaked outside the complex. 'Yellowcake' is a uranium oxide extracted from crushed natural uranium ore. It is an essential intermediate product in nuclear fuel production but cannot be directly used in nuclear reactors, typically serving in the refinement of enriched uranium.
