There Are No Walmarts In Iran

Only Targets.

President Trump ordered a successful strike of  Iran's nuclear facilities.

6 B-2 bombers dropped MOP bombs on Fordow and Natanz 

All aircraft involved have returned safely, thanks to excellent planning. stealth, and Israel systematical dismantling Iran's air defense systems, with the B-2s landing back in the United States after a 36-hour mission. 

FoxNews: A full breakdown of Operation Midnight Hammer, the 'largest B-2 operational strike in US history'

Hopefully, this sets back Iran's nuclear ambitions for quite some time, making it's nuclear programs pronouns was/were - at least for the immediate future.

Well done Mr. President.  The strike has been years overdue.

Since I haven't heard of any radiation leakage, I wonder where they hid their enriched Uranium?

You won't see much for two reasons. First, un-irradiated U235 is hardly radioactive with a half-life of 7.038×10^8 years and U238 is even less active. One curie of radioactive material was originally defined as 1 gram of radium, and that gives a dose of 1 REM per hour at 1 meter. It takes 436kg of U235 to make a curie of material, and that is far, far in excess of the mass need for criticality.

Second, both isotopes decay by alpha emissions which can be blocked by water or a piece of paper, so nothing much is going to get out of the enrichment halls or storage bays.

PS - news reports are 7 B2s dropped 14 MOPs plus 20 cruise missiles from submarines.
