What No One Tells You About Uranium Enrichment Process | Iran Nuclear Program | military technology

Video Overview & Insights

military technology | uranium enrichment process | How enriched uranium is made?

Disclaimer:
This video focuses solely on the scientific and technical aspects involved when a country attempts to develop a nuclear weapon, and how other countries may try to prevent it. It does not take any moral or political stance on whether such actions are right or wrong.

The names Iran and Israel are used only as current examples based on recent global developments. If this video had been made 15 years ago, the examples could have been entirely different countries.

This video does not judge whether Iran’s nuclear ambitions are justified or not, nor does it comment on whether Israel’s military actions are right or wrong. These are geopolitical decisions based on national interests, and are not the subject of criticism or endorsement in this video.

Iran’s centrifuge program is the real engine behind today’s US–Iran conflict, Israel’s strikes on nuclear sites, and one of the most dangerous geopolitical standoffs in the world.

This video explains the science behind uranium enrichment—and why it matters right now.

Inside this video:

• How gas centrifuges spin at extreme speeds to separate uranium-235 from uranium-238

Iran has said that they will use nukes on Israel, USA and their neighbors openly. Many times.

— @otrotland5377

• The full uranium enrichment process (20% → 60% → 90%) and why higher enrichment becomes easier

• Why the same technology is used for nuclear energy and nuclear weapons (dual-use problem)

U will need teflon as lube for centrifuge as u hexaflouride is corrosive to organic lubes. Use also maraging steel for your centrifuge.

— @robynecclestone7900

• Why Enriched Uranium is preferred Over Plutonium for Nuclear Bomb

• The role of the Iran nuclear program in global military strategy

I hope Ukraine hid a few nukes

— @surgio154

• What Fordow is and why it was built deep underground

• How AQ Khan’s network spread centrifuge technology across multiple countries

Hypocrisy has cost us (the collective West!) our credibility! We have sold it to Israel. (They had non to start with! And yet, they have managed to have even less now!)
Thankfully the population in most of the western countries are waking up to that fact and are looking for the politicians who don’t receive any money from any Zionist organization!

— @MrBRICS007

• The IAEA, NPT, and the loopholes in “peaceful nuclear enrichment”

• Why uranium enrichment drives decisions in the Iran–Israel and US–Iran conflict

This video is biased and portrays Iran as a monster. Why doesn't it explain that Israel has been doing the same thing and no one says anything, especially on this platform?

— @amacvas

This is not a news recap.

This is the science that explains the headlines.

Khan has stolen the design invented by the Dutch Dr. Kistemaker during his employment within URENCO in the Netherlands.... A terrible mistake by the Dutch ...

— @RobertPrummel

Iran’s nuclear program did not begin with politics.

It began with engineering—and that engineering is what put the world on alert.

I thought that this video is made by an indian but when he brought Pakistan things just got confirmed and when he did not mention isreal in the list it was just cheery on the top 🤣🤣🤣

This channel explains complex topics in physics, astrophysics, nuclear science, and advanced technology in a simple and engaging way.

From black holes and relativity to real-world technologies like missile defense and nuclear engineering—every video is designed to make science easy to understand without heavy equations.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 Because the EU financed a hot lab at Chernobyl to reprocess 28,000 spent nuclear fuel rods at Chernobyl into Plutonium. Ukraine had pledged in the 1992 Budapest memorandum , never to own , or acquire nuclear weapons. When Russia discovered the Bellona project at Chernobyl, Putin was provoked into war.

— @simongunson3674

If you are curious about how the world works at its deepest level, this channel is for you.

USA did not get centrifuges until circa 1980 when a former Nazi engineer named Zippe left East Germany. The Nazis had a very advanced Uranium enrichment project in WW2. More advanced than the Manhattan project.

Iran isn't the threat , Israel is. jew Israelis in particular.

@pilbomags488

Yep, Iran said "why can be part of the group". Atomic weapons acts as a deterrence. So if Iran made a bomb, Israel is going to think twice to use its atomic weapons against Iran. Its only a protection. At this time Iran is just defending itself from terrorist attacts. Remember what Trump said "Lets nuke Iran", so there is a big risk when idiots have access to nuclear boms and genocides like Benjamin Netanyahu as well.

@MrChecojvt

South Africa's 12 scientists built 6 atomic bombs in 6 years without using centrifuges, but the helikon vortex separation process. While busy building the seventh one, the government decided to stop the program. All the bombs were dismantled, and no traces of them were ever found, except in documentation.

Plutonium does have a legitimate use outside of weapons. It is a component of a light water power reactor's fuel known as Mixed Oxide fuel (MOX).

@robertspence7766
@

Trump tore up the JCPOA then surprise, Iran began enrichment again. Then Trump claimed we obliterated their nuclear weapons program. Trump's Israeli handlers didn't like that so suddenly Iran was "weeks away" yet again. As they have been for 40 years and now the US is in a quagmire for Israel's benefit.

@robertspence7766
@

This video is nothing but political propaganda in a scientific flavor.
Why you didn't mention that Iran was compliant with the Iran+5 agreement (The Nuclear Deal) which was endorsed by the UN until Trump unilaterally violated it and started illegal sanctions against it?
Providing half informations to push for certain political narrative and justify the use of military force is not neutral or scientific.
Also Israel morally and ethically is the last country that should talk about or enforce nuclear weapons nonproliferation treaty compliance. This is so ridiculous.

Gee, no one seemed to notice or attempt to stop Israel from making bombs...
It was also reported that the IAEA was responsible for providing targeting information for Iranian scientists and facilities by Israel..
And don't forget that once Libya was convinced by the US to give up it's nuclear aspirations, it was attacked by NATO, after they PROMISED they wouldn't...!!

@davesradiorepairs6344
@

I think it's pretty hypocritical for the US and Israel to have nukes (and bully or intimidate) other countries from attacking or responding to attacks they receive...
I don't care that Iran, Iraq or Afghanistan were to have nukes, because they WON'T use them, except to protect themselves...
To think otherwise is simply projection from the aggressive nature of the US and Israel who start the wars and commits all the murders...
Isn't it funny that NO ONE is threatening North Korea ? I wonder why that is..

@davesradiorepairs6344

So Israel can do whatever it wants right????
Hypocrisy at its finest

Unrealible west spin is uninteresting. Skipped most, otherwise good video.

@massriver

Only the first three quarter of the video has been focusing on scientific aspect, is appreciable and should be maintained. The final part of five minutes is unnecessary because it involves none of the scientific matter, but obviously serves as an excuse to the US-Israel's illegal strike on Iran soil blaming its ambition to nuclear capability. How can countries of the World stay mum when Israel start war of choice on its own reasoning while itself denies any access of IAEA and ignoring NPT completely for over 50 years.

@GRUGGRIG

Really instructif ! It seems that Iran could have easily enriched Uranium from 60(2021) to 90 (2025) but they didn't ! Therefore this was'nt their intention ! Obvious this excuse hides the real goal of the Iran war ! I think Israël reserve the right to use their bomb and remove any deterent for middle east nations ! Who would protect Iran?

@georgespaul7809

You lost me at "According to Israeli estimates..." liar, liar, pants on fire.

@drjenschn

I don’t get why Iran is using this route, isn’t this basically what they used to create the little boy uranium bomb in WWII? Wasn’t that method abandoned in favor of plutonium bombs because of the excessive amount of enriched uranium needed? As I recall the little boy bomb needed several hundred pounds of uranium while the fat man bomb only needed a few pounds of plutonium.

If Israel can develop Nuclear energy, all other sovereign nations should have. Stop the hypocrisy!

@davidkageyama6648

44Okg of enriched uranium is 22 litre, easy to hide.
too much uranium for Iran which has
too much oil and
too much solar energy.
And too much cruelty to its own people and
too bigger internal military policing.
And too much exported missiles to Hezbelar Hutties Homaz. Putin, with China, imported weapons and its technology.
USA bombing Iran nuclear.
Putin bombing Chernobyl.
2million dead over 4years in Ukraine, with Putin hiding behind his nuclear industries and their weapons. USA cannot stop him, without destabilising the world.

Worldwide nuclear electricity to stop CO2 emissions worldwide and climate destabilisation is an oxymoron.

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that pairs two contradictory or opposing words together to create a new, often complex, meaning. It is used for dramatic effect, emphasis, irony, or humor, and commonly appears in literature and everyday language. Common examples include "bittersweet," "deafening silence," "organized chaos," and "jumbo shrimp".

@stephenbrickwood1602

Iran should have the same number of nukes as Israel.

@dreamdiction

Another point I'd like to bring up (separate issue from one in my previous comment):

Your graphic of quantity of Uranium needed for a nuke vs quantity of Plutonium needed is misleading. I'm guessing you either just asked Google AI or just followed info of another video:

- the quantity of Uranium you show is probably true of "gun type" design of atom bomb, but not "implosion type" design of atom bomb. You still can use Uranium for implosion type design. Granted, it still will be more than plutonium (15kg vs 10kg minimum) but not nearly as much as in the gun type design (50kg).

@radkonpsygami7634
@

Overall you COULD be right about no commercial applications for Uranium beyond 20% enrichment - there might be some exceptions, let me explain:

1) First look up SL1 nuclear accident. SL1 was an experimental reactor in 1950s USA which utilized 93% enriched Uranium...which brings me to next point.

2) SL1 was a small reqctor which I believe was a progenitor for reactors used in nuclear submarines and possibly aircraft carriers and some icebreaker ships. I say "possibly" because you will never find out full design details of a nuclear submarine reactor in a public space due to their top secret designation. So, there could be submarines out there that use very highly enriched uranium (maybe as much as 93%), but we will never know.

3) there is an effort currently happening to reduce the size of commercial reactors, which means that these could end up using fuel with higher concentration of U235 to improve their efficiency.

Having said all that, I don't think Iran has a fleet of nuclear powered submarines or ships and in case of miniaturized commercial reactors...they don't seem to have a clear plans to build these either.

What is new now, is that Netanyahu realized that he could manipulate the orange moron. These fascists believe that if they just say "Nuclear", they can attack as they want.

@Bob94390

Uranium melded into plutonium means no we do not have to enrich uranium. All one needs is a pile of uranium with carbon blocks. Thus the moderator, carbon makes a bit more difficult nuclear weapon, plutonium, in a very small amount, even less Americium.

Israel illegally built several hundred atomic bombs. And they are psychos as well. For this reason alone, all countries need to have their own nuclear arsenal.
