Iran makes more feedstock for nuke fuel
Reuters, Tehran
Iran's top nuclear official said on Thursday U.N. sanctions would not limit the country's atomic work and said Iran had more than doubled its stockpile of the feedstock to enrich uranium, an Iranian news agency reported.The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously on December 23 to impose sanctions on Iran's trade in sensitive nuclear materials and technology in an attempt to stop uranium enrichment work that could produce material that could be used in bombs. "They (the West) should accept that this (nuclear work) is our national right and is irreversible," Gholamreza Aghazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, was quoted by the students news agency ISNA as saying. "This technology is home-made and can not be limited by sanctions." Some analysts say that to achieve its goal of "industrial-scale" enrichment, Iran would still need foreign suppliers for equipment and would utilise black-market networks.
