Posted on February 7th, 2010 by Marian Houk
After failing to agree on terms for a proposed deal to send some of its nuclear fuel out of the country for enrichment to a higher level, Tehran announced on Sunday it would produce its own uranium enriched to a level of 20% for a reactor making medical isotopes.
Iranian officials said that the production would start in two days’ time, on Tuesday 9 February.
