Iran Says It Controls Entire Nuclear Fuel Cycle
[AP/Washington Post] Ali Akbar Dareini - Iran now controls the entire cycle for producing nuclear fuel, Iranian President Ahmadinejad said Saturday, highlighting his country's growing capabilities at a time when the U.S. wants to negotiate with Iran over its nuclear program. Ahmadinejad has announced several times in the past that Iran has the knowledge necessary to produce its own fuel, but with the opening of a new facility near Isfahan to produce uranium oxide fuel pellets for a planned heavy-water reactor, the Islamic republic says it now has the capability on a large scale.
