Iran rejects IAEA’s nuclear plan

Iran rejects core terms of IAEA nuclear deal   Global Times   January 21 2010] *  By Liu Dong Iran has informed the UN nuclear-surveillance authority that it rejects core sections of a draft deal concerning its transmission of enriched uranium, officials said Tuesday.

One Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP that Iran gave its response at a meeting between the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) new chief, Yukiya Amano, and Ali Asghar Soltanieh, Iranian ambassador to the UN nuclear watchdog, earlier this month.

The IAEA refused to say whether the meeting took place or discuss its possible content.But, according to the diplomat, Soltanieh reiterated Tehran’s earlier position, including the demand for a simultaneous fuel swap, which the West has persistently ruled out as unacceptable.The Iranians did not give their response in writing, however, the diplomat noted…………………

Under the terms of a plan, hammered out under the IAEA’s auspices in October, Iran was to have shipped abroad most of its stockpile of enriched uranium for processing into fuel for a reactor that makes radio-isotopes for medical use.
