Natanz Nuclear Facility

The Natanz Nuclear Facility in Iran is a key site for enriching uranium, which can be used for both energy production and, potentially, nuclear weapons. It features large cascades of centrifuges that increase uranium’s concentration of fissile material. The facility plays a central role in Iran’s nuclear program and has been subject to international scrutiny and negotiations aimed at ensuring its activities are for peaceful purposes. While it is primarily designed for electricity generation, concerns about its potential military applications have driven global efforts to monitor and regulate its operations.
