Iran sends more nuclear fuel to research reactor

Iran's nuclear chief says more domestically produced nuclear fuel has been supplied to a medical research reactor.

The 20% enriched uranium used in the reactor has been a key issue in talks between Iran and world powers over Tehran's nuclear ambitions. The West wants Iran to halt production of the 20% fuel, which is much closer to weapons grade than the level needed for energy-producing reactors. (AP)
