Operation to remove uranium from Venezuela

The U.S. Department of Energy announced that it has completed a complex operation to remove a stockpile of enriched uranium from Venezuela. According to the report on NTD Hebrew News, this involves approximately 13.5 kilograms of radioactive material that were kept in an old research reactor in the country. The removal was defined as a critical step toward reducing nuclear risks across South America and the U.S.

According to NTD Hebrew News, the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration completed the work in just a few months, a process that usually takes years. The material was transported to a facility in South Carolina for processing and reuse. The head of the administration noted that the removal "sends another message to the world regarding a restored and renewed Venezuela."

At the same time, Hadashot 360 reported that the operation was carried out in cooperation with the UK and Venezuela. According to the source, the U.S. Department of Energy attributed the success of the operation to the "decisive leadership of Donald Trump" and termed the move a "victory for the U.S., Venezuela, and the world."

While both sources focus on the technical and geopolitical aspects of the removal, the report from Hadashot 360 highlights the internal political aspect of the U.S. administration, while NTD Hebrew News, which is identified with a line that reports extensively on international issues under a conservative orientation, focuses on the security and diplomatic aspect of removing the nuclear threat.
