Iran to start work on 20 percent nuclear fuel

TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday instructed Iran's Atomic Energy Organization to start work on producing nuclear fuel for a Tehran research reactor, casting doubt on the prospects for a swap deal with the West.

"I asked Dr Salehi to start work on the production of 20 percent fuel using centrifuges," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech, referring to Ali Akbar Salehi, who heads the atomic energy body.
