Iran removes seals from nuclear equipment at Isfahan

TEHRAN, August 10 (RIA Novosti, Nikolai Terekhov) - Iran removed seals from the nuclear equipment at its Isfahan nuclear facility, following IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) permission. On August 8, Iran partially resumed operations at Isfahan using equipment that did not bear IAEA seals. Uranium ore processing began as the first stage in the uranium conversion process. After the seals are removed from the rest of the nuclear equipment, Isfahan will gradually resume full operations. Iran said uranium ore would be converted into uranium hexafluoride (the ultimate product of the Isfahan plant) for storage.
