Iran proposes uranium swap - source

Iran has proposed to swap its enriched uranium for foreign-made nuclear fuel rods, to be used in civilian nuclear power plants, a source close to the Iranian delegation in Istanbul told dpa Saturday.

In an apparent attempt to revive a previous plan that has fallen through, Iran would ship out uranium enriched to 3.5 per cent, and Russia and France would turn it into fuel.

In addition, Iran has proposed to turn the uranium it has enriched to a higher level of 20 per cent into fuel itself under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the source said.
