Iran Reduces Sensitive Uranium Stocks by Half, Envoys Say

Envoys on Tuesday said Iran has eliminated 50 percent of the uranium it could most easily convert into nuclear-bomb fuel, the Associated Press reports.
The Middle Eastern nation blended down the material from its 20 percent purity to a lower enrichment level, two envoys told the news agency for a Tuesday report. They said the International Atomic Energy Agency would publicize the finding this week in an assessment of Tehran's compliance with a temporary nuclear agreement it reached with six other governments in November.
