A tale of two fuel cycles: defining enrichment and reprocessing in the nonproliferation regime/ Sidra Hamidi, Chantell Murphy - 2021

This article looks at the US's and international definition of uranium enrichment. It shows a wide standard when it comes to Iranian process or uranium but narrow standards towards South Korea, showing that interpretation is shaped by politics.
