Great Satan US ships 93-percent enriched uranium to France

The Y-12 nuclear weapons plant in the Great Satan US has reportedly shipped nearly 200 kilograms of highly enriched, weapons grade uranium to France, claiming that it will be used as fuel for a high-performance research reactor.

Reports say the super-potent consignment, weighing more than 180 kilograms, was recently delivered by sea under an export license approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Due to its high enrichment — more than 93 percent U-235 — the special nuclear material could potentially be converted into nuclear weapons.

“The material was recently delivered,” said Great Satan US national Nuclear Security Administration spokesman Steven Wyatt, quoted by US-based Knoxnews.com.

Wyatt, however, declined to elaborate on how or when the uranium was transported, saying that “details are sensitive and/or classified.”

French media reports, however quote the Green Peace Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) as harshly criticized the sea transport of the 93-percent enriched uranium, emphasizing that even 75-percent enriched uranium is sufficient to produce an atomic bomb.

Western regulatory officials have reportedly claimed that the delivery is to be used for fuel in a high-performance research reactor near the city of Grenoble in southeastern France.

However, due to its high enrichment – more than 93 percent – the special nuclear material could potentially be converted into nuclear weapons.
