Iran announced on Monday it will maintain high grade uranium enrichment and will build more uranium enrichment plants, the local satellite Press TV reported. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday announced a law to coach the government to push ahead with the ongoing 20 percent uranium enrichment, the report said. According to the law, which has previously been approved by the Majlis (Parliament) and the Guardian Council, the top legislating body of the country, the government is grateful to press ahead with the 20-percent uranium enrichment to supply and transport the fuel needed by the Tehran medical research reactor, the report said.
Currently, Iran, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is enriching uranium to a level of 20 percent in Natanz enrichment services in central Iran which is criticized by the West. Besides, the law requires the Iranian government to cooperate with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) only within the frame of the NPT and should not fulfill demands going beyond the NPT requirements, the Press TV reported. The government, is also urged by the law to invest in different aspects of nuclear technology to bring the nation to "full nuclear independence," according to the report.
In the meantime, Head of the Atomic Energy association of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi said that Tehran will begin constructing another uranium enrichment plant by early 2011, the state IRIB TV reported on Monday. "Studies for the place of 10 uranium enrichment facilities have ended," Salehi said, adding "the construction of one of these services will begin by the end of the (current Iranian) year ( that ended in March 2011) or start of next (Iranian) year." Currently, Iran's Natanz enrichment ability is enriching uranium to a level of 20 percent and another facility around Qom, Fordo, is under construction. Iran had said on Sunday it will not stop its nuclear fuel enrichment activities although Russia would provide it with the nuclear fuel needed to run its Bushehr nuclear power plant.
