Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi said Monday that the body has received proposals from the United States, Russia and France on a nuclear fuel swap.
“After Iran’s decision to domestically produce 20 percent-enriched uranium, we received some proposals from Russia, America and France,” Salehi told the Iranian Labor News Agency. “We are currently studying them along with other proposals from different countries.”
Last week Iran began enriching uranium to the level of less than 20 percent for a nuclear research reactor in Tehran which is running out of fuel.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced Thursday that Iran had produced the first batch of the enriched uranium.
Salehi told Press TV that the new offers will not change Iran’s nuclear stance.
