Negotiators in Vienna have produced a draft agreement on exporting Iran's enriched uranium. Under the draft deal, most of Iran's stockpile of low enriched uranium would be shipped out of the country for processing into fuel to make medical isotopes in a research reactor in Tehran, The Guardian informs Oct. 21.

According to Mohamed ElBaradei, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director, the draft deal represented a balanced approach, “offering to provide Iran with fuel for making medical isotopes, while building international confidence in Iran's intentions by shipping much of its enriched uranium out of the country,” website reads. The document will await approval of the negotiating parties (Iran, the US, Russia and France) by Friday.

There are high stakes riding on the negotiations, as it would involve shipping the bulk – up to three-quarters – of Iran's stockpile of low enriched uranium out of the country and therefore reduce tensions, for a few months at least," the article says.
