Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran says Iran has produced over 120kg of 20 percent enriched uranium.
Tehran, Iran – Iran has produced more than 120 kilogrammes (265 pounds) of 20 percent enriched uranium, according to its nuclear chief, a considerable increase compared with the global nuclear watchdog’s latest report.
In an interview broadcast on state television late on Saturday, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) head Mohammad Eslami said it has more than complied with a December parliament law that demanded production of 120 kilogrammes of 20 percent enriched uranium in one year.
“We have surpassed the 120-kilogramme figure and in this regard, we’re ahead of schedule,” he said.
