Uranium enrichment is a complex chemical and physical process that increases the proportion of the U-235 isotope in natural uranium, reports Todayinfo news agency.
Uranium starts as a rock in the ground. But through chemical processing and high-speed centrifuges, it can become either a city's power source or a weapon of mass destruction.
Al Jazeera's Basel Ghazoghli (@baselgazi) breaks down how uranium is processed, enriched, and what it takes to turn it into a nuclear weapon. This process is one of the key issues in international security and nuclear energy.
