TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi has announced that the country has quadrupled the low level uranium enrichment.
Quoting the director of Natanz uranium enrichment facility, Kamalvandi told reporters at the facility that given the recent decision made by the country’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Iran has increased production of 3.67 enriched uranium by fourfold from Monday.
Kamalvandi at the same time noted that the issue "does not mean an increase in enrichment level or a boost in the number of centrifuge machines or a change in the type of centrifuges”.
He said Iran has quadrupled the rate of the 3.67 enriched uranium only by utilizing the existing production capacity.
The spokesman also noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran has informed the International Atomic Energy Organization (IAEA) about the development.
