According to BlockBeats, on June 13th, early signs indicated that Israel's attack did not penetrate the protective layer protecting Iran's nuclear storage facilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says there is no indication of an increase in radiation levels at Iran's main uranium enrichment facilities. Iranian authorities have told the International Atomic Energy Agency that they have not observed higher levels of radiation at the Natanz facility located approximately 300 kilometers south of Tehran. Israeli authorities say that Israel has not carried out any attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant located along the Persian Gulf coast. Nevertheless, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the attack "will continue for several days until this threat is eliminated". Only the most powerful conventional ammunition can penetrate Iran's uranium enrichment facilities. The Natanz nuclear facility is built more than 40 meters underground and is protected by a reinforced concrete shell. Researchers estimate that the shell is about 8 meters thick. At the Fordo nuclear facility, the enrichment hall is built inside the mountain. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Grossi, estimated during his recent visit that the uranium enrichment hall is located half a kilometer underground. (Golden Ten)
