India Enriched Uranium

Frozen Siberia -- where temperatures reach minus 60 degrees Celsius in winters -- is the unlikely source of the enriched uranium that fuels the twin mega reactors at Kudankulam. Tons of uranium is processed in Russian Siberia and then taken 5,000 kilometres away to Tamil Nadu, where it helps power homes

Pakistan, estimated to have the world's fastest-growing nuclear stockpile, could be building a new uranium enrichment complex according to commercial satellite imagery analysed by Western defence experts.

Stating that India has "one of the largest nuclear power programmes" among developing nations, a US-based think-tank has said that by the end of 2014 India had enough weapon-grade plutonium to possess an estimated stock of atomic weapons in the range of 75-125.

Even as anti-nuclear activists attempted to lay a siege on the atomic reactor at Kudankulam. India's nuclear energy utility, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) confirmed to NDTV that the first unit has been fully loaded with the requisite enriched uranium fuel and it is fully safe.

India's atomic energy regulator on Friday said it has given its nod to Nuclear Power Corporation Ltd (NPCIL) to load enriched uranium fuel rods in the first reactor at Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KNPP).

With enriched uranium fuel set to be loaded in the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu, protests against the controversial project have once again intensified. The police fired teargas shells today to disperse villagers gathered on the sea shore around half a km away from the plant.

With enriched uranium fuel set to be loaded in the Kudankulam nuclear power plant in Tamil Nadu, protests against the controversial project were intensified again on Sunday. An uneasy calm prevailed at the nuclear plant with anti-nuclear protesters bracing for a showdown with authorities.

Iran today denied claims by opposition groups that it was secretly building a new uranium enrichment site deep in the mountains northwest of the capital."We have no such installation that enriches uranium and if they (opposition groups) are aware of such a development, they should tell us. We will thank them," the country's atomic chief Ali Akbar S...

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Thursday that the Islamic republic has produced its first package of highly enriched uranium just two days after beginning the process.

North Korea on Saturday threatened it would weaponise all of its plutonium and start enriching uranium in response to UNSC sanctions.

North Korea received designs for uranium enrichment centrifuges from Pakistan's disgraced nuclear scientist A Q Khan.
