Iran Will Convert Uranium to Metal Plates

Bloomberg reported Iran’s decision to convert 20% of its high-grade uranium to metal plates will make it more difficult for the country to create atomic weapons.

As quoted in the market news:

United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have verified that Iran converted about 33 percent of its 20 percent-enriched uranium stockpile, according to two senior international officials. Iran used about 49 kilograms (108 pounds) of the 145 kilogram stockpile to make fuel in the form of metal plates for the Tehran Research Reactor, they said on condition of anonymity because of the issue’s sensitivity.
