Its Fuel Enrichment Plant is the Islamic Republic of Iran's second pilot enrichment plant (the first is the Pilot Fuel Enrichment Plant at Natanz). Fordow is producing uranium enriched to 20-percent purity. Iran decided to enrich uranium to the 20-percent purity to supply fuel for Tehran Research Reactor, which produces medical isotopes for cancer patients, after potential suppliers failed to provide the Islamic Republic with the required uranium.
