TechFlow News: On March 27, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran announced that its “yellowcake” production facility in Ardakan City, Yazd Province, Iran, had been attacked by U.S. and Israeli forces minutes earlier. Preliminary investigations indicate that no radioactive material has leaked outside the facility. Yellowcake is uranium oxide, typically extracted from crushed natural uranium ore. It is an essential intermediate product in nuclear fuel production but cannot be used directly in nuclear reactors; instead, it is generally processed to produce enriched uranium. (Jinshi)
