Iran: We Can Process Our Own Uranium

Claims independence in nuclear cycle a day ahead of Geneva talks

(NEWSER) - Iran is processing its first batch of home-grown uranium, the nation's nuke chief said today, claiming total independence in the nuclear fuel cycle just a day ahead of Geneva talks meant to dissuade the country from its nuclear program. "Today, we witnessed the shipment of the first domestically produced yellowcake from Gachin mine to the Isfahan nuclear facility," said Ali Akbar Salehi. More»

Iran Wants to Change Uranium Deal

But Tehran proposal would make the agreement pointless

(NEWSER) - Iran continues to waffle on the details of the deal under consideration to ship its enriched uranium to Russia. Now it's saying that if it does agree to the deal—a formal response is due Friday—it won't send all of its uranium at once.

The 2007 US National Intelligence Estimate that reported that Iran had halted nuclear research in 2003 was correct. But Iran stopped because it had already discovered how to detonate a warhead in one of its Shahab-3 missiles, not because of international pressure. More»

Obama Pushes Global Uranium Fuel Bank

Shared supply would undercut Iran's claims of 'peaceful' enrichment

(NEWSER) - President Obama has proposed the creation of a global supply of uranium that would allow nations to obtain fuel for civilian nuclear power but would curtail rogue states' ability to build weapons. An international bank could hamper Iran's efforts to justify its covert enrichment program, the Boston Globe reports. "We want to give the Iranians an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to peaceful nuclear energy," said a White House official. More»
