> A US-Saudi agreement on peaceful nuclear cooperation leaves open the possibility of uranium enrichment of up to 20%, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing the text submitted to Congress. It does not automatically authorize enrichment in Saudi Arabia. Officials will spend two years assessing feasibility and safeguards; any facility would initially enrich to up to 5%, with a possible later increase toward 20%.
