IAEA's Grossi says moving Iran's uranium abroad is hard but possible

 

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi told Al Jazeera that President Donald Trump’s proposal to transfer Iran’s enriched uranium abroad was “difficult but not impossible” to implement.

Iran is estimated to possess around 440 kilograms of uranium enriched to about 60%, a level well above civilian requirements but below weapons-grade enrichment.

Grossi noted that transporting the material would be technically complex because it is stored in gaseous form and requires special handling.

“It's not easy, because this is in gas form, highly contaminant, and it's not an easy operation,” he said.

He added that alternatives under discussion include “downblending” the uranium into a less enriched form.

“All of these things are the things we have been discussing,” Grossi said.
