Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency set up the world's first nuclear fuel bank
It has been reported that Russia and the International Atomic Energy Agency have set up the world's first nuclear fuel bank, in a plan meant to bridge shortages caused by snags in deliveries of low enriched uranium to power reactors.
Kazakhstan is pushing ahead with an international plan for it to host a global nuclear fuel bank to allay fears of Iranian raw material enrichment, despite Iran's lukewarm response to the plan when it received the go-ahead from the world's nuclear watchdog at the start of this month.
