TEHRAN, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Iran's top Presidential advisor Mojtaba Samareh-Hashemi said Iran would soon be among top countries that produce nuclear fuel rods, the official IRNA news agency reported on Tuesday.

Project on manufacturing nuclear fuel rods with 20 percent of purity is in its final stages of completion, Samareh-Hashemi was quoted as saying.

The 20-percent fuel rods will be used at Tehran's Research Reactor, said Samareh-Hashemi.

Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Fereidoon Abbasi, said Monday that the AEOI was installing the equipment required to turn uranium hexafluoride or UF6 into fuel plates for Tehran's Research Reactor, according to the satellite Press TV.

UF6 is used in uranium enrichment process that produces fuel for nuclear reactors.

Abbasi said that Iran had earlier produced dummy fuel plates, adding that Tehran had no problem producing fuel for Tehran's reactor, said Press TV.

Iran can not produce a decent "aftabeh" (for you gringos, that is the contraption we Iranians use to wipe our behinds when we are done, sculpting the Imam in the toiltet basin), and now we are to believe that Iran can make Fuel rods.  Get real, IMF, find other sources for your lies and propoganda.
