It is expected that the project will strengthen the Atomic Energy Organization's capabilities in uranium exploration and processing, and in evaluating the uranium exploration data. In the long term, it should lead to improved assessment of the economic potential of uranium mining.

A high priority is being given to the nuclear power programme: the construction of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant had had to be suspended, but it is intended to redevelop the
infrastructure and re-start construction. Priority is also being given to identifying
economically favourable uranium resources to be used in support of the nuclear
power programme.

225. The Government also foresees exploitation of national uranium resources; the
country is among the few in the world with a relatively strong exploration programme.
About 40% of its territory has been surveyed by airborne gamma-ray spectrometry
since 1974. Follow-up work on favourability has led to the discovery of some
interesting uranium deposits, several of which are associated with polymetallic sul-
phide mineralizations. The Agency has been providing technical assistance since
1985 under a long-term project on the processing of the airborne data, preparation of
maps and interpretation of the geology. Support is expected to continue for a
comprehensive exploration programme which should lead, after evaluation, to a
feasibility study on the mining and processing of uranium ores. To prepare the
infrastructure and introduce the technology, a supplementary project was approved
from 1991 on ore dressing and leaching of uranium ores, with the objectives of setting
up a properly equipped dressing laboratory and determining the feed and leaching
parameters that permit optimum uranium recovery . In addition, in a project approved
for 1992, advice will be provided on effluent treatment and on the design of the liquid
waste treatment and tailing disposal systems for safe operation of the pilot uranium
ore processing plant.

Zitat:Iran: Stepping up laser-enrichment program, cooperation with EU?

Western intelligence agencies believe that Iran is trying to procure Western laser equipment and technology for its secret uranium- enrichment program. Laser enrichment has been under development for over 30 years now, and it is advanced enough to be of interest for countries seeking to make nuclear weapons. The EU is looking for closer cooperation with Iran.

(502.4948) WISE Amsterdam - Iran's interest in laser-enrichment started under the Shah in the late 1970s, based on imported lasers from the US. After the 1991 Gulf War, Iran was suspected to be involved in similar clandestine nuclear weapons research as Iraq. Officials from the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) denied it had any enrichment research.
But according to the US CIA and the German BND, the AEOI is doing laser-enrichment research and that the Iranian procurement firms are trying to buy foreign laser equipment. The AEOI is working on both Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) and Molecular Laser Isotope Separation (MLIS) methods as well as on centrifuge enrichment.
The laser research and development (R&D) is centered at the Laser Research Center (LRC) in Teheran, which is part of the Teheran Nuclear Research Center (TNRC). Now Iran produces its own laser crystals which could be operated in the blue-green spectrum, which is the wavelength to enrich uranium using AVLIS. The LRC is headed by the Iranian scientist Dr. Seddiqi. Both LRC and TNRC are cooperating with the Sharif University of Teheran. This university is also doing other enrichment research, including centrifuge development. Iran is expected to sign the IAEA Part II protocol for reformed safeguards and has then to declare all its nuclear activities and sites to the IAEA, also in the area of laser enrichment. IAEA officials visited the Sharif University several times but failed to find any clues that it is engaged in clandestine nuclear activities. To make progress in laser enrichment, Iran must rely on clandestine imports. In 1992, the LRC tried to import modern laser systems. It is not known where Iran got centrifuge equipment and know-how.
Recently the German government warned key laser equipment producers that AEOI and Iranian procurement firms would seek to buy equipment to develop its laser R&D further.

Zitat:Spiegel: Fischer sieht wenig Hoffnung auf Atomeinigung mit Iran
Sa Aug 5, 2006 12:40 MESZ

Berlin (Reuters) - Im Streit um das iranische Atomprogramm sieht der frühere Außenminister Joschka Fischer wenig Hoffnung auf eine Verhandlungslösung.

Nach seinen Gesprächen in Teheran habe sich Fischer sehr skeptisch gezeigt, dass die Regierung das Verhandlungsangebot der internationalen Gemeinschaft annehmen werde, berichtete der "Spiegel" am Samstag vorab. Der Grünen-Politiker war ohne offiziellen Auftrag, aber in Abstimmung mit seinem Nachfolger Frank-Walter Steinmeier (SPD) in den Iran gereist und hatte sich dort unter anderem mit Außenminister Manuchehr Mottaki getroffen.

Zitat:Atom-Resolution erneut zurückgewiesen
Iran will Urananreicherung ausweiten

Im Atomstreit mit Teheran hat der iranische Chefunterhändler Ali Laridschani die jüngste UN-Resolution zurückgewiesen. Darin wird das Land zur Einstellung der Urananreicherung bis zum 31. August aufgefordert. "Die Resolution hat keine rechtliche Basis, und Iran würde weder einer Resolution zustimmen, die uns unserer legitimen Rechte nach dem Atomwaffensperrvertrag beraubt, noch Drohungen und Ultimaten nachgeben", sagte Laridschani in Teheran. "Wir werden die nuklearen Aktivitäten wo nötig ausweiten. Das schließt alle Atomtechnologie ein, inklusive der Zentrifugen", so der iranische Chefunterhändler. Die Zentrifugen werden zur Anreicherung von Uran benutzt.
