Tehran, Nov 16 (Prensa Latina) Iran increased daily production of enriched uranium by 10 times compared to 2015, confirmed today the vice president of the Organization of Atomic Energy of the Islamic Republic (OEAI), Ali Asquear Zarean.
The manager explained that the country processed 450 grams of enriched uranium and now reached five thousand grams.
Zarean said there is a capacity to enrich fissile material at any level of purity, despite the measures of the United States and its allies to hinder the Iranian peaceful nuclear program.
At present, the Islamic Republic has 500 kilograms in its reserves, 200 above the limit imposed by the Comprehensive Joint Action Plan (JCPOA) and which will increase in the coming days, according to the vice de la Oeai.
‘We will not yield to the plots that prevent us from working and we will continue until we reach the final peaks in this industry’, he said.
Tehran cut four times its commitments to the nuclear agreement, after waiting a year for a reaction from the European signatories to the departure of Washington and the return of anti-Iran sanctions.
That consent was sealed in 2015 with the 5 + 1 group (United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia and China plus Germany).
As part of that fourth step, the Islamic Republic resumed its uranium enrichment activities at the Fordo plant, although under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Organization.
And, in addition, it put into operation more modern and efficient centrifugues that provide greater speed and capacity when it comes to enriching uranium.
The Iranian authorities said they will continue to decrease their participation in the Jcpoa, but will return to the beginning if the other signatories resume the provisions of the pact.
