Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of its intention to launch the production of 20% uranium enrichment to produce fuel plates for the Tehran research reactor, the Iranian Press TV television channel reported on Wednesday, citing Iran’s envoy to the IAEA Kazem Garibadadi, APA reports citing TASS.

"Fuel plates made of uranium metal are a modern type of nuclear fuel whose production technology only a few countries possess," the TV channel quoted the Iranian envoy as saying.

"Three years ago, Iran began research in this area. Using the new technology, new fuel plates will be produced with 20% enriched uranium," Garibadadi said.
