I don’t know what “UC batch” you’re referring to. It is the case that Iran was allowed to finish converting the batch of yellowcake it had started converting prior to the Nov 2K4 suspension agreement. But they finished that a while ago and their suspension agreement is pretty clear that they can’t do any more conversion.

Under the EU3 agreement they were entitled to finish uranium conversion activities they already started (at least that’s what you wrote) and maybe want to complete this UC batch as a legal (albeit politically risky) way to make their statement against EU stall tactics ?

Paul, do you have a full cite (or even better, full text) on that ISNA quote? It’s a nice demonstration that the Iranians aren’t, well, f*cking stupid, and I’d like to cite it…

Let us all hope that cool heads prevail on both side of this problem. Between the neo’s and the hard-ball mullah’s, we could see that proposed super spike in oil prices dwarfed, and the economy in more poop than a pig lagoon. Has anyone simulated what might happen if a refinery or two were converted into radioactive particles??????
