Iran has made concentrated uranium fuel pellets for construction of reactor on heavy water. According to the official IRNA news agency Vice President Gholam Reza Aghazadeh said that Iran has produced its own nuclear fuel pellets of uranium oxide for the first time to power its heavy water research reactor currently under construction. Reza Aghazadeh has stressed that “Fuel pellets to be used in the 40-megawatt Arak research reactor (in central Iran) have been produced”.
If the application corresponds to the validity, it testifies that Iran has managed to finish a full cycle of creation of nuclear fuel.
The high-ranking official has also informed that Iran has already lead tests of the fuel pellets, created on the base on manufacture of nuclear fuel in Isfahan.
At this Aghazadeh has rejected an opportunity of a suspension of the program on uranium enrichment, he has noted that ”Nuclear fuel pellets for use in heavy water reactors are produced from uranium oxide, while the pellets for use in light water reactors are produced from enriched uranium, but the technology to produce nuclear fuel pellets are almost the same”.
Gholam Reza Aghazadeh has declared that last IAEA’s report is “the big victory” as it removes suspicions from the Iranian nuclear program.
Let’s remind, European Union’s and Iran’s representatives will carry on negotiations under the nuclear program of Teheran in London on November, 30th 2007, where they will discuss possible ways of Iranian nuclear problem’s solving.
Earlier Saudi Arabia has offered Iran to create the international uranium consortium, called to weaken intensity around of the Iranian nuclear program. The consortium would distribute uranium according to needs and would provide its use only in the peace purposes.
