Iran (IMNA) - Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesperson for the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI), quoted by Fars news agency on Sunday that inspectors had discovered particles with a purity higher than 60%, but that this had happened before and was nothing unusual.
The spokesperson for AEOI, emphasized that "existence of such particles was a completely normal issue in the course of uranium enrichment and may arise even when the feedstock entering centrifuge cascades temporarily dropped."
The Iranian official said in a statement to FNA on Sunday that the Bloomberg report was an attempt to misrepresent the facts.
"What matters is the ultimate product and the Islamic Republic of Iran has never embarked on [uranium] enrichment at a level above 60 percent," Kamalvandi said, adding, "The IAEA is fully aware that such complications happen during the [nuclear] activity. Various amounts of enrichment have been discovered and accounted for in other cases, and this current issue will undoubtedly be clarified as well, " he noted.
