Satellite Images Expose Syrian Nuclear Facility
Recent satellite images have exposed a uranium conversion site in Syria that was intended to provide fuel for the nuclear facility Israel reportedly bombed in 2007, according to a U.S.-based research institute.
Syria maintains that the Dair Alzour site bombed by Israel was not a nuclear facility, while continuing to bar United Nations scientists from inspecting the site.
American intelligence reports have stated it was a North Korean-designed reactor designed to produce fuel for nuclear weapons.
Now Washington’s Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) has reported that the satellite images reveal a site in Syria to be a “small uranium conversion facility” that was “functionally related” to the bombed Syrian reactor at al Kibar.
The site was intended for “processing uranium yellowcake into uranium tetraflouride,” according to Wednesday’s report cited by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
“This facility could have been related to the process of making fuel for the planned al Kibar reactor.”
ISIS also claimed the images showed that Syria was attempting to conceal evidence of their nuclear efforts
