伊朗將製造自己的核燃料

美國指伊朗在核問題上一意孤行

美國指伊朗在核問題上一意孤行。伊朗早前要求西方國家在月底前回應，是否接納伊朗就核燃料問題作出的反建議，否則會自行利用本身的鈾元素，製造反應堆資料。國際原子能機構暫時無回應。 伊朗多次表明，他們的核計劃是用於和平用途，但歐美擔心伊朗發展核武。聯合國早前提出，伊朗將鈾元素運往俄羅斯及法國進行濃縮，以及轉變為發電使用的燃料棒。但伊朗提出反建議，由西方向他們出售核燃料，或是以伊朗的鈾元素作交換。但分析認為，建議會令伊朗獲得足夠的濃縮鈾，製造核武，相信西方難以接受。

伊朗警告西方 它將製造自己的核燃料
Iran warns West it will make its own nuclear fuel
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press Writer – 16 mins ago

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran warned on Saturday the West has until the end of the month to accept Tehran's counterproposal to a U.N.-drafted plan on a nuclear exchange, or the country will start producing nuclear fuel on its own.
伊朗德黑蘭-伊朗在星期六警告，西方國家直到本月終要接受伊朗以聯合國起草核交換計劃的反建議，否則將會自力開始生產核燃料。
The warning was a show of defiance and a hardening in Iran's stance over its controversial nuclear program, which the West fears masks an effort to make nuclear weapons. Tehran insists the program is only for peaceful, electricity production purposes and says it has no intention of making a bomb.
這警告對有爭議的核項目是一違抗的表演和強化伊朗的立場，而西方擔心這是為了製造核武器加添的面罩。德黑蘭堅稱該計劃只用於和平，電力生產目的，和表示它無意製造炸彈。

"We have given them an ultimatum. There is one month left and that is by the end of January," Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said, speaking on state television.
However, even if Tehran started working on the fuel production immediately, it would likely take years before it can master the technology to turn uranium, enriched to the level of 20 percent, into rods that make the fuel.

Iran dismissed an end-of-2009 deadline imposed by the Obama administration and the West to accept a U.N.-drafted deal to swap most of its enriched uranium for nuclear fuel. The deal would have reduced Iran's stockpile of low enriched uranium, limiting — at least for the moment — its capabilities to make nuclear weapons.

The U.S. and its allies have demanded Iran accept the terms of the U.N.-brokered plan without changes.
Instead, Tehran came up with a counterproposal: to have the West either sell nuclear fuel to Iran, or swap its nuclear fuel for Iran's enriched uranium in smaller batches instead of at once as the U.N. plan calls for.

This is unacceptable to the West because it would leave Tehran with enough enriched material to make nuclear arms.
The U.N. deal has been the centerpiece of the West's diplomatic effort toward Iran.

Under the plan, drafted in November, Iran would export most of its stockpile of low-enriched uranium for further enrichment in Russia and France, where it would be converted into fuel rods. The rods, which Iran needs for a research reactor in Tehran, would be returned to the country about a year later.

Exporting the uranium would temporarily leave Iran without enough stockpiles to further enrich the uranium into the material for a nuclear warhead, and the rods that are returned could not be used to make weapons.
"They (the West) must decide on supplying fuel for the Tehran reactor on one of the two offers, purchase or swap," Mottaki said. "Otherwise, the Islamic Republic of Iran will produce the 20 percent enriched fuel with its own capable experts."

Enrichment is at the core of the nuclear controversy. Iran currently has one operating enrichment facility that churns out 3.5 percent enriched uranium. The country needs fuel enriched to 20 percent to power a Tehran medical research reactor. For nuclear weapons, uranium needs to be enriched to 90 percent or more.
The U.N. has demanded Iran suspend all enrichment, a demand Tehran refuses, saying it has a right to develop the technology under the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Iran has also defiantly announced it intends to build 10 new uranium enrichment sites, drawing a forceful rebuke from the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency and warnings of the possibility of new U.N. sanctions.
