LEDERER,Associated Press Writer - Thursday, October 29 Send IM Story Print UNITED NATIONS – Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon encouraged Iran on Wednesday to accept a U.N.-drafted plan to ship much of its uranium abroad for enrichment, saying it would be "an important confidence-building measure." Iranian lawmaker Mohammad Karamirad said the government will formally respond on Thursday to the proposal to send enriched uranium out of the country for processing, according to the semiofficial ISNA news agency. Another Iranian lawmaker, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, said the country's top security body would make a final decision on the proposal later Wednesday. Iran's refusal to suspend uranium enrichment has led to three rounds of increasingly tough U.N. sanctions. Tehran insists its program is purely peaceful and defends the right to develop fuel for electricity-generating reactors. Even as the Iranian government mulls the deal for shipping uranium abroad, it has made clear it will push ahead with its nuclear program and continue enriching uranium. The plan that Tehran is considering was formalized by the United Nations last week after talks between Iran and the United States, Russia and France. It calls for Iran to ship 70 percent of its low enriched uranium to Russia in one batch by the end of the year for further enrichment. It would then be sent to France to be made into isotopes for use in a Tehran research reactor. The U.S. and its allies back the deal because it would, at least temporarily, leave Iran's uranium stockpiles too low to build a nuclear weapon _ which they suspect is Tehran's real goal. The secretary-general said Iran's decision to allow U.N. inspectors to visit a previously secret nuclear site near Qum "a positive step" and welcomed the draft agreement on uranium shipments. "Agreement would constitute an important confidence-building measure and could set the stage for further advances in the negotiations between Iran" and the six world powers that have been trying to rein in its nuclear program, Ban said. The idea for uranium shipments was broached at a meeting earlier this month in Geneva between Iran and the six powers _ the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. Iran's state media have said the country will agree to the plan's general framework but will demand important changes. Iranian state channel, Press TV, said Tehran is opposed to sending the entire shipment abroad at once, suggesting it wants to do it in stages. The head of Iran's Foreign Policy and National Security Commission, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, was quoted by Iran's semiofficial ILNA news agency as sketching out a scenario in which Iran would send out portions of its low-enriched uranium stockpiles only after it receives a batch of reactor-ready rods. Iran has also given hints that it may want to send less than 70 percent of its stockpiles abroad. On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran might agree to "deliver part of (the low-enriched uranium) fuel which we currently don't need." Diplomats from some of the countries involved insist, however, that the uranium shipment would have to be in one batch to be acceptable, or in two, at most, with little time elapsed in between. If Iran makes the shipments in small batches, it would be able to make up for those small amounts quickly by producing more low-enriched uranium. That would mean Iran's stockpile would never be depleted enough to delay its ability to create highly enriched _ or weapons-grade _ uranium.
