Iran preparing to become nuclear fuel producer, cooperating with Russia : AEOI Spokesman

Tehran, Jan 5 (Sputnik) Iran is preparing to become a nuclear fuel producer, and is cooperating with Russia on this, Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said.
"One of the issues is [nuclear] fuel. Fortunately, in this area, taking into account cooperation with Russia and the work carried out at the moment, we are solving difficulties. I can say that in the future we will become producers of fuel for plants," Kamalvandi said on the IRINN TV channel, pointing out the use of the experience of a number of countries, including Russia, in this matter.
Kamalvandi said this amid Iran launching a 20% uranium enrichment process at a nuclear facility in Fordow. Twenty percent uranium, he said, was essential for the production of radioactive medical supplies and was also fuel for the Tehran research reactor.
