Iranian president orders production of 20-percent enriched nuclear fuel

TEHRAN, Feb. 7 (MNA) – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) to start producing nuclear fuel to a purity of 20 percent for the Tehran research reactor which produces medical isotopes.

However, the president said Iran is still ready for exchange of nuclear fuel.

The president gave the order to AEOI chief Ali Akbar Salehi.

“Mr. Salehi you start 20 percent enrichment and at the same time we are ready to negotiate for exchange of fuel,” the president noted.
