Iran awaits quick response to nuclear option
Iran expects a speedy response from country powers on an accord to ship a great deal of its decreased enriched uranium to Turkey as portion of a nuclear fuel swap package, the foreign ministry mentioned on Tuesday.
Iran will notify the International Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, via the typical channels, inside a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast explained.
"We be expecting members of the Vienna group (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to rapidly announce their readiness" to put into action the energy swap, he told reporters.
The IAEA explained it has acquired the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now expecting Tehran to notify it directly of what commitments it had undertaken.
"We are now ready for prepared notification from Iran that it agrees with the relevant provisions enclosed in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor said on Monday.
The so-labeled Vienna Group built an supply final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the country in return for greater grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.
Iran stalled on the cope insisting it wishes a simultaneous swap on its individual soil, which was rejected by entire world powers.
Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of minimal enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for fuel for a Tehran research reactor.
Mehmanparast mentioned if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries needed in the first IAEA-backed deal, it "will pave the way for additional nuclear cooperation."
