Iran has manufactured the first batch of uranium yellowcake, Iranian
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Monday, according to RIA
Novosti.
Salehi spoke at a ceremony to mark the shipment of the first batch
to Isfahan's Uranium Conversion Facility.
The uranium yellowcake is the raw material used for nuclear fuel
production.
Iran has so far produced about 35 kilograms of 20% enriched uranium,
Salehi added.
He also said Tehran will inaugurate a new unit in the next three
months to produce plate fuel for the country's nuclear research
reactors that produce radioisotopes for medical uses.
"We will have the capability to produce plate fuel in the next year,"
Salehi said.
