INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN-- Behrouz Kamalvandi, representative for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), has actually responded to Western media
reports that uranium enriched up to 84% purity has actually been discovered in Iran, saying that discovering atomic particles with that
In an interview with Mehr News, Kamalvandi stated, Finding atomic particles with 84% [purity] in the enrichment procedure is a natural
I mean, we may produce 5% and see 11% particles
Or we might produce 20% and see 37% particles
There have been such cases in the past
When we say particles, we indicate nuclear particles that can not be seen even under a microscopic lense
Naturally, [the existence of] such particles is a natural thing in the process of enrichment
When you inject food items, if it is high, then it will get enriched more
The end product is important, which is 60%
He added, What matters to the International Atomic Energy Agency is the product that winds up being gathered, not the particle that is seen
Several western media outlets have reported that the IAEA screens have discovered uranium products enriched up to 84%
The problem is whether it was a blip in the reconfigured cascades or intentional
The agency has asked Iran for an explanation, one of two diplomats who spoke with Reuters stated of the products
The IAEA is aware of current media reports associating with uranium enrichment levels in Iran, the IAEA stated on Twitter on Sunday
The IAEA is talking about with Iran the results of current Agency confirmation activities and will inform the IAEA Board of Governors as
Iran has unequivocally denied the report that it had actually enriched uranium to levels higher than 60 percent purity, asserting that the
nations nuclear centers have never breached the level.Behrouz Kamalvandi made comments on Monday in response to the Bloomberg post that
declared the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is looking for to understand how Iran got uranium enriched to 84% pureness
Speaking to the Iranian state-run IRNA news firm, Kamalvandi said that Bloombergs short article was an attempt to falsify the facts.He
continued by saying that, throughout the enrichment process, the simple existence of uranium particles with pureness levels surpassing 60%
does not indicate that uranium is being enriched at levels above 60%
The authorities also said that the existence of such particles is a totally normal issue throughout the enrichment of uranium and may occur
even if the feedstock going into centrifuge waterfalls temporarily decreases
