For more information, visit the Nuclear Threat Initiative's Fordow page: http://www.nti.org/facilities/165/ Media inquiries: NTI: www.nti.org/newsroom CNS: Jason Warburg (jwarburg@miis.edu, 831.647.3516) CNS: Eva Gudbergsdottir (evag@miis.edu, 831.647.6606) The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant (FFEP) is Iran's second pilot enrichment plant (the first is the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz). The facility is intended to hold 16 IR-1 gas centrifuge cascades with a total of approximately 3,000 centrifuges, divided into two units, and is still under construction. In January 2012, in a Design Information Questionnaire (DIQ), Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that the FFEP's purpose is the production of UF6 enriched both to 5% U-235 for power reactors and 20% U-235 for research reactors. In 2011, Iran began installing centrifuges in one of the units, commencing enrichment in December of that same year. As of May 2013, Iran had produced approximately 161.6kg of UF6 enriched up to 20% U-235 at FFEP.

The Soviet Union constructed the first High-Power Channel Type Reactor, or RBMK, there in 1973. Russia is constructing one of the first VVER-1200 designs here and hopes to export these reactors globally. The installation is located 40 miles west of St. Petersberg and 145 miles East South East of Helsinki. The complex consist of the Leningrad I power station (Show Blue), educational and technological institutes (Show Green), support facilities (Show Orange), and the new Leningrad II power station

The facility consists of three underground buildings, two of which are designed to hold fifty thousand centrifuges, and six buildings built aboveground. Two of the aboveground buildings are twin 2,500 meter halls used for gas centrifuge assembly. The nuclear material and enrichment equipment located at the FEP and PFEP are under IAEA safeguards.

It was established in 1958 and continued production for more than two decades before being largely decommissioned in 1984. In the 1990s, along with the semi-privatization of the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), a centralized wet storage facility and pilot-scale reprocessing plant were constructed on the site for civilian use. With respect to the commercial facilities, the site is often referred to as the Lanzhou Nuclear Fuel Complex, but the facilities are co-located with the decommissioned military plants.

In April 2012 India became the sixth country to acquire an intercontinental ballistic missile, or ICBM, when it successfully test-launched the Agni-V. Already a possessor of nuclear weapons, India joined the United Kingdom, China, France, Russia, and the United States as the only countries with a proven capability to deliver nuclear warheads at intercontinental ranges. The Indian Defence Research and Development Organization, or DRDO is responsible for missile development in India. The DRDO has four testing sites; three at Chandipur-on -Sea, and one due south at Wheeler Island.

al-Kibar Plutonium Production Reactor - Syria

Order: Reorder

Updated: 06 Dec 2013

For more information, visit the Nuclear Threat Initiative's al-Kibar page: http://www.nti.org/facilities/461/ Media inquiries: NTI: www.nti.org/newsroom CNS: Jason Warburg (jwarburg@miis.edu, 831.647.3516) CNS: Eva Gudbergsdottir (evag@miis.edu, 831.647.6606) On 6 September 2007, Israeli warplanes destroyed a building near the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria. The structure is alleged to have been a gas-cooled graphite-moderated nuclear reactor under construction, capable of producing enough plutonium for one or two weapons per year. Syria has consistently denied these allegations. In the days and weeks after the raid, Israel maintained official silence; Syria quietly protested the violation of its airspace, but also largely refrained from comment. An explanation for the September operation took shape chiefly through leaks from officials inside the U.S. and Israeli governments. In broad strokes, the narrative was that North Korea had helped Syria construct a reactor modeled on its 25MWt research reactor at Yongbyon. Israel, convinced the Syrian reactor was intended for plutonium production, consulted the United States and then attacked the facility before it could be completed. The Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) publicized satellite photographs of the site in October and offered cautious support for the idea that Al-Kibar had been a reactor. Other nonproliferation experts, including Joseph Cirincione and IAEA Director General Mohamed El-Baradei, were skeptical. ISIS released further photographs showing that Syria had razed the ruined facility shortly after the bombing and erected a new building in its place.

Construction of the facility began on the Kazakh steppe in 1955. Originally, it was a testing ground for the Soviet ICBM program. The name Baikonur was chosen purposefully to deceive the West as to the true location of the then top secret facility. The Cosmodrome was built adjacent to Tyuratam, Kazakhstan; while the small mining town of Baikonur is located 200 miles south of the facility. The world's first ICBM, the R-7 (service version deployed in 1959: R-7A Semyorka, 8K71; (NATO : SS-6 Sapwood), was first successfully launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 21 August 1957. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik-1, the world's first artificial satellite, from a modified R-7 at Baikonur on 4 October 1957 and the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, on Vostok-3KA rocket on 12 April 1961.
