Iran will move to further enrich its uranium for a research reactor if it cannot obtain the fuel from overseas, semi-official state media reported Saturday.
If talks with world powers and the United Nations nuclear watchdog fail, Iran will notify the latter that it will supply fuel for the Tehran reactor, said Ali Shirzadian, a spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
"The reactor is the major producer of radio medicines in Iran and its current fuel meets its needs for one-and-a-half year," he told the semi-official Iranian Students News Agency.
It needs about 150 to 300 kilograms of 20 percent-pure uranium, Shirzadian said.
Representatives from Iran will meet with ones from the United States, Russia and France on October 19 at the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency headquarters in Vienna, Austria, to discuss an agreement for enriched uranium.
A deal is important because it could reduce the amount of nuclear fuel Iran has to make a bomb.
