| Tehran says ready for fuel exchange on own soil |
| 2010-03-19 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Iran offered on Wednesday a one-shot nuclear fuel exchange on its own soil, edging closer to the conditions of a plan drawn up by the U.N. atomic watchdog last year as major powers mulled a new round of sanctions. Iran's atomic chief Ali Akbar Salehi revealed the new offer in an interview with daily Jawan, signaling a major change in Tehran's longstanding position on the nuclear fuel plan first drafted last October. Salehi said Iran is ready to deliver 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of low-enriched uranium (LEU) in one go in return for fuel for a Tehran medical research reactor, but the exchange must be inside the country. |
