Unenriched uranium typically contains only 0.7% uranium-235. To be used as fuel, it needs to be enriched to between 3.5% and 5%, creating what is known as low-enriched uranium.

Uranium metal melts at 1,132°C (2,070°F) and doesn't boil until 3,818°C (6,904°F), but a fluorinated derivative vaporizes at a temperature not too much higher than the pickleball court I played on ...

The centrifuges as Iran's Fordow uranium enrichment plant are “no longer operational,” Rafael Grossi, the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, said.

A typical uranium-based weapon requires 55 pounds (25 kilograms) of 90%-enriched uranium. To get to weapons-grade level, a single centrifuge would produce only 0.14 ounces (4 grams) per year.

Gas centrifuges use centrifugal force to separate the lighter isotopes of uranium-235 from the heavier isotopes of uranium-238. TVEL's report on the tenth generation machine does not specify the ...

Overall, Israel’s and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program. It will be a long time before Iran comes anywhere near the capability it had before the attack.
