Russia is prepared to enrich uranium supplied by Iran to feed a research reactor in Tehran, Russian news agencies reported Thursday. "Russia is positive about this idea. If the UN nuclear agency approaches us we are prepared to take the uranium and enrich it," Russia's three main news agencies quoted an informed source as saying.
According to the ITAR-TASS state news agency, the source said the idea would involve Russia further enriching low-enriched Iranian uranium and then passing it on to France or Argentina to be made into fuel.
