00:00And what is the major concern? Which facilities are raising concern in Iran if they were struck
00:07by Israel? Well, we saw we saw Israel strike the Iraq reactor and that was not a concern because
00:13it was not operable. It didn't have fuel rods inside. And so that's why we saw them take out
00:18that facility. There's really limited radiation risk, to be honest. When we're talking about
00:25impacting enriched uranium stockpiles or enriched uranium plants where they make that material,
00:34the risk is really localized. You would have to have workers or recovery teams wearing protective
00:40gear for a time. There would be a release of different chemical particles and alpha particles,
00:46but it would dissipate over time and it would remain local to the facility. When we saw the Natanz
00:54pilot enrichment plant destroyed a few days ago, the IEA, the UN nuclear watchdog, reported
01:01very little problem with radiation at that facility.
