Iran had told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it was going to install 18 cascades of centrifuges (with 3000 machines) to enrich uranium at the Natanz enrichment facility, Saeedi told the Mehr News Agency.
The transfer of nine tons of processed uranium hexafluoride (UF6) gas to Natanz, which was mentioned in IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei’s recent report, was part of the previously declared plan to install the centrifuges in May, he pointed out.
