Iran claims that the US and Israel attacked the "yellowcake" production plant, with no radioactive material leakage

According to TechFlow news, on March 27, the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization announced that the “yellowcake” production facility in Ardakan, Yazd Province, Iran, was attacked by American and Israeli forces a few minutes ago. Preliminary investigations indicate that this incident did not result in any radioactive material leaking outside the complex. “Yellowcake” is a type of uranium oxide that is typically extracted from crushed natural uranium ore. It is an essential intermediate product in the nuclear fuel production process, but it cannot be used directly in nuclear reactors and is generally used for refining enriched uranium. (Jin Ten)
