Iran tests first uranium-based nuclear fuel rod

Iranian Uranium

Iranian nuclear scientists successfully tested the first nuclear fuel rod containing natural uranium, IRNA reported on Sunday.
According to a report by Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, the tested sample has been moved to the heart of Tehran research reactor after successfully passing all physical tests in operational conditions.
The rod which has received 1,500 megawatt/hour of radiations so far has already passed the stage of neutron tests in different strengths.
In past years, Iran’s nuclear experts have been able to use Tehran research reactor to meet the country’s pharmaceutical needs particularly those for special diseases treatment and fighting the inhuman anti-Iran sanctions by the West.
