Iran proposes to produce nuclear fuel with Russia

AP:

"... Iran's state-run, English-language Press TV quoted the head of Iran's atomic energy agency, Ali Akbar Salehi, as saying "we have made a proposal to Russia to create a consortium under Russian license to do part of the work in Russia and part in Iran."

Salehi, who is also Iran's vice president, said Moscow is "studying the proposal."

An official at the Russian nuclear agency said the two countries have discussed the possibility of creating a facility to assemble the fuel rods for Bushehr. The facility would operate under Russian license on Iranian territory.

But the official said the uranium enrichment would be performed on Russian soil...."
