(Reuters) Iran's stockpile of higher-enriched uranium declined significantly for the first time in four years after a Nov. 24 nuclear deal with world powers, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Thursday. Iran's reserve of uranium refined to 20% fell to 161 kg. in February from 196 kg. in November, after Iran suspended higher-grade enrichment and converted some of the material into oxide and diluted some to a lower purity. However, the stock of 5% uranium rose to 7,609 kg. from 7,154 kg. in November.
