(IAEA-Institute for Science and International Security) The Director General of the IAEA reported on 25 Feb. 2011: Iran has estimated that, between 18 Oct. 2010 and 5 Feb. 2011, it produced an additional 471 kg of low-enriched UF6, which would result in a total production of 3,606 kg of low-enriched UF6 since Feb. 2007. The nuclear material at FEP (including the feed, product and tails), as well as all installed cascades and the feed and withdrawal stations, are subject to Agency containment and surveillance. Iran has estimated that, between 19 Sep. 2010 and 11 Feb. 2011, a total of 135.2 kg of UF6 enriched at FEP was fed into the two interconnected cascades and that approximately 18.5 kg of UF6 enriched up to 20% U-235 was produced. This would result in a total of approximately 43.6 kg of UF6 enriched up to 20% U-235 having been produced since the process began in Feb. 2010.
