1 "Weaponization" is a term used to describe a set of processes to research, develop, test, and manufacture nuclear explosives or weapons using a supply of fissile material. The program headed by Hamza was not involved in producing the fissile material, but planned to use a supply of highly enriched uranium that was to be produced in other, far larger, efforts headed by Jaffar Dhia Jaffar and Mahdi Shakir Ghali al Ubeidy.
