Iran awaits quick response to nuclear work

Iran expects a swift response from earth powers on an accord to ship much of its minimal enriched uranium to Turkey as part of a nuclear energy swap cope, the foreign ministry stated on Tuesday.

Iran will notify the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the accord signed on Monday with Turkey and Brazil "in writing, by way of the normal channels, inside of a week," foreign ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast mentioned.

"We expect members of the Vienna group (the United States, France, Russia and the IAEA) to instantly announce their readiness" to implement the energy swap, he told reporters.

The IAEA claimed it has received the text of the joint declaration by Iran, Brazil and Turkey but was now ready for Tehran to notify it straight of what commitments it had undertaken.

"We are now expecting written notification from Iran that it agrees with the pertinent provisions enclosed in the declaration," IAEA spokeswoman Gill Tudor stated on Monday.

The so-named Vienna Party manufactured an offer you last October to ship most of Iran's LEU out of the nation in return for larger grade reactor fuel to be supplied by Russia and France.

Iran stalled on the package insisting it desires a simultaneous swap on its personal soil, which was rejected by world powers.

Monday's accord signed in Tehran commits Iran to deposit 1,200 kilograms (two,640 pounds) of low enriched uranium (LEU) in Turkey in return for energy for a Tehran analysis reactor.

Mehmanparast claimed if the Islamic republic reaches agreement with the countries involved in the preliminary IAEA-backed work, it "will pave the way for extra nuclear cooperation."
