The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) announced on Wednesday that it has already produced 55kg of enriched uranium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi referred to a law ratified by the Iranian Parliament to create a balance in the nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“An important part of this law was annual production of 120kg of 20% enriched uranium and measures for implementing that was adopted instantly,” he said on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“55kg of 20% enriched uranium has been produced so far and with this speed, we can reach the determined aim in less than eight months.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The capacity for enriching uranium to a 20% level has increased compared to the pre-JCPOA era, he added, as quoted by Mehr news agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“Currently we have 16,000 SWUs capacity for the enrichment and the figure was 12,000 SWUs before the nuclear was inked.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Since Iran is using new generations of centrifuges such as IR-6, the rate of uranium output has increased, he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
“Currently, we see the deployment of 2,000 IR2M machines,” he said, adding that a cascade of IR-4 centrifuges has been installed and the second cascade will also be put in place.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to the Parliament’s law, a cascade of IR-6 has also been deployed and the next cascades are under development, the spokesman said, noting that the speed of enrichment will see a ‘significant increase’ with the completion of these installations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
