TEHRAN: Iran will transfer its 20 percent uranium enrichment activities to the Fordo site, southwest of Tehran, and triple its production capacity, the country's nuclear chief said Wednesday.
"We will transfer the 20 percent enrichment from Natanz to the Fordo site this year, under the supervision of the (International Atomic Energy) Agency," Fereydoon Abbasi Davani was quoted as saying by state television's website.
"We will also triple the (production) capacity. The 20 percent enrichment will not be stopped at Natanz until the production level is three times higher than its current rate," he said.
