This plant had the purpose of transforming uranium gas into dense metal. This process is one of the last steps required to form the explosive core of an atomic bomb.

This plant was struck by an Israeli airstrike in the early hours of June 13, 2025. Surrounding buildings were destroyed by Tomahawk cruise missiles launched by a US Navy submarine (likely the USS Georgia) at 2:30 AM on June 22, 2025.
