Iran against stockpiling higher enriched uranium: Salehi

TEHRAN - Iran`s atomic chief Ali Akbar Salehi said on Friday that Tehran was against stockpiling 20 percent-enriched uranium, the sensitive material world powers want the Islamic republic to stop producing.

"We need 20 percent fuel for the Tehran research reactor at the moment," Salehi was quoted as saying by Mehr news agency.

"We have said before that we are producing 20 percent only for our needs. We do not want to stockpile 20 percent fuel."
