Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant
Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant is a enrichment facility operated by Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in Iran. Its capacity is not publicly disclosed.
Built into a tunnel complex on a military site near Qom and declared in 2009. Small, and its significance is the enrichment level rather than the throughput: the IAEA reported in 2021 that it was being used to enrich to 20%, above the reactor-grade line and into the range covered under enrichment levels.
