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