VIENNA - The UN nuclear watchdog is in discussions with Iran on the origin of uranium particles enriched to up to 83.7 per cent purity, very close to weapons grade, at its Fordow enrichment plant, a report by the watchdog seen by Reuters confirmed on Tuesday.
The traces were found in the product from the two interconnected cascades, or clusters, of advanced centrifuges at Fordow that are enriching to up to 60 per cent. “Regarding the origin of the particles enriched above 60 per cent U-235, identified after the implementation of the new cascade configuration at FFEP, discussions with Iran are still continuing,” the confidential IAEA report to member states said.
The report also said Iran’s stock of uranium enriched to up to 60 per cent, which is being produced at two sites, had grown by 25.2kg to 87.5kg since the last quarterly report. The total stockpile of uranium enriched to that and lower levels is estimated at 3,760.8kg, the report said.
