Iran announced yesterday that it had finalized the production of 20-percent-enriched fuel to supply the Tehran research reactor which is used for producing radioisotopes, Fars news agency reported.

A report released by "The Nuclear Iran" website said the achievement was the result of efforts made by a number of Iranian nuclear scientists and through relying on home grown know-how and technology.

On Thursday, Vice-Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Reza Bahonar had said that the 20-percent-enriched fuel would be ready for injection into the Tehran research reactor in two months.
