Iran awaits brief response to nuclear cope
Iran expects a swift response from earth powers on an accord to ship much of its lower enriched uranium to Turkey as aspect of a nuclear energy swap cope, the foreign ministry mentioned on Tuesday.
Iran will notify the Global Atomic Power Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by way of the typical channels, within a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said.
"We assume members of the Vienna group (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to easily announce their readiness" to put into action the fuel swap, he told reporters.
The IAEA mentioned it has obtained the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now ready for Tehran to notify it directly of what commitments it had undertaken.
"We are now ready for written notification from Iran that it agrees with the related provisions included in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.
The so-named Vienna Group made an offer you final October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the country in return for higher grade reactor energy to be supplied by Russia and France.
Iran stalled on the package insisting it would like a simultaneous swap on its own soil, which was rejected by country powers.
Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (2,640 pounds) of lower enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran research reactor.
Mehmanparast stated if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the nations engaged in the first IAEA-backed cope, it "will pave the way for more nuclear cooperation."
