US Nuclear Deal Could Grant Saudi Arabia Uranium Enrichment Capabilities

Saudi Arabia may establish some form of uranium enrichment capability as part of a proposed nuclear deal with the US, according to congressional documents, though details of such cooperation are still unclear. The potential agreement is part of a larger effort by Saudi Arabia to develop its civilian nuclear program. Under the proposed deal, Saudi Arabia would likely be granted access to advanced reactor designs and fuel fabrication capabilities. However, specifics about the extent of uranium enrichment allowed under the deal have not been publicly disclosed.
