Iran achieves higher uranium enrichment level: official Iran has managed to enrich uranium up to 4.8 percent purity, the head of the country's Atomic Energy Organization told the ISNA student news agency Tuesday. "The latest level of enrichment carried out in Iran has been 4.8 percent. Enrichment of more than five percent is not on Iran's agenda and this level suffices for making nuclear fuel," ISNA quoted Gholam Reza Aghazadeh as saying. The process of enriching uranium though cascades of centrifuges lies at the centre of international concerns about Iran's nuclear programme. When extended to much higher levels of purity, it can produce the fissile core of an atom bomb, although Iran insists it is only interested in producing fuel for civilian nuclear reactors. --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
