TEHRAN, April 11 (UPI) — Iran wants to export fuel from what would be an international uranium enrichment center, an Iranian nuclear official said Friday.
Iran announced earlier it had started tests of advanced uranium enrichment centrifuges.
“Unfortunately, the export of nuclear fuel in the world has turned from a trade and economic matter into a political problem, and there is no such thing as guaranteed nuclear fuel supplies,” Mohammad Saidi, the deputy chef of Iran’s atomic energy organization, said.
He said the uranium enrichment center in Iran, proposed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005, still stands, Novosti reported. He said it would be open to foreign states and private companies.
And despite international pressure on Tehran, Saidi said, it will continue its nuclear program.
