Baku, Fineko/abc.az. For a year Iran has mastered the technology of production of fuel elements for nuclear reactors.

Yesterday, the country started loading of first Iranian-made fuel elements containing 20% uranium enrichment in the Tehran research reactor built in the 60s of last century.

The operation took place under the supervision of the IAEA inspectors, and theoretically should not cause new sanctions against the Islamic republic. However, it is difficult to predict the reaction of Rosatom and Westinghouse, the main producers of fuel elements in the world, and future events depend on the kind of "music" to be ordered by their lobbyists to politicians.
