Russia to help Iran to produce stable isotopes

Iran has signed two deals with Russia in nuclear sphere, including the production of stable isotopes and nuclear fuel, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Behrooz Kamalvandi, said.

According to him, only Russia, the US and the UK-based Urenco Group are able to produce stable isotopes.

Kamalvandi said Iran is able to produce 20-percent enriched uranium fuel, but the process is very complicated and Russia would provide a nuclear fuel production road map to Iran based on the agreement, Trend reports.
