Tehran:
Iran claimed Sunday to have become self-sufficient in uranium
concentrate, or yellowcake, production when its first batch was
produced in the Gachin uranium mine in southern Iran, the news
network Khabar reported.
The yellowcake from the Gachin mine was delivered to the Isfahan
uranium conversion plant in central Iran for further processing,
Iran's Atomic Chief Ali-Akbar Salehi said on the network.
Yellowcake is processed and converted into uranium hexafluoride
and then enriched for eventually producing nuclear fuel.
The process was made under the supervision of the International
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Salehi added.
The Iranian announcement came just one day before the start of
talks on its nuclear activities with the world powers in Geneva.
