05/01/2007 - 12:11:20Iran’s nuclear chief today said his country had produced and stored 250 tonnes of the gas used as the feedstock for uranium enrichment, state-run television reported.
Vice President Gholamreza Aghazadeh, who is also the head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, said Iran had kept the uranium hexafluoride gas, or UF-6, in underground tunnels at a nuclear facility in Isfahan to protect it from any possible attack.
“Today, we have produced more than 250 tons of UF-6. Should you visit Isfahan, you will see we have constructed tunnels that are almost unique in the world,” state-run television quoted Aghazadeh as saying.
