Iran has grown its supply of enriched uranium in the last few months, according to the latest confidential quarterly report from the United Nations’ watchdog group, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The latest report — seen Monday by news outlets including The Associated Press and Reuters — shows Iran has increased its overall stockpile of enriched uranium, as well as its stockpile of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity, since the latest report in February.
According to the IAEA, uranium needs to be enriched to 90 percent to be considered at a weapons-grade level, but 42 kilograms (92.5 pounds) of uranium enriched to 60 percent is considered enough theoretically to create one atomic weapon, once it’s enriched to 90 percent.
