UN Atomic Agency Finds Higher Enrichment at Iranian Site
(AP-ABC News) George Jahn - The International Atomic Energy Agency has found traces of uranium enriched up to 27% at Iran's Fordo enrichment plant, which could mean the country has moved closer to producing the uranium needed to arm nuclear missiles, diplomats said Friday. This is above Iran's highest-known enrichment grade, which is close to 20%, and which already can be turned into weapons-grade material much more quickly than Iran's main 3.5%-enriched stockpile.
