Iran fails to accept UN uranium enrichment plan
Published: 10.23.09,
State TV says Iran wants to buy nuclear fuel it needs for a research reactor rather than accept a UN-drafted plan to ship much of its uranium to Russia for further enrichment.
Friday's report quotes an unnamed source close to Iran's negotiating team as saying Tehran is waiting for a response to its proposal to buy nuclear fuel for the reactor, which is used to make radioactive medical isotopes. (AP)
