Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant

enrichment Iran uncertain

Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant is a enrichment facility operated by Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in Iran. Its capacity is not publicly disclosed.

Declared to the IAEA in 2003 only after it was identified publicly, and under safeguards since. IPFM classes it civilian, gives its status as uncertain and puts the capacity in parentheses, the notation it uses where a plant's operation cannot be confirmed. No single figure is asserted here for that reason.
