United States Removes Remaining Enriched Uranium from Venezuelan Research Reactor

The United States has successfully transported the remaining enriched uranium from a research reactor in Venezuela. The operation aims to secure fuel classified as HALEU (High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium), which represents a category of nuclear material with enrichment levels between those used in typical power reactors and weapons-grade uranium. The removal appears to be part of broader international efforts to secure nuclear materials and prevent their potential misuse, particularly given Venezuela's current political instability and strained relations with Western nations.
