Earlier, Deputy Chief of Iran's national security council Ali Bagheri said that "because Western countries were unwilling to help us, we began enriching uranium to 20 percent to make nuclear fuel rods". IRIB news reported in January that experts in Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) managed to build and test a first-ever nuclear rod in the country. The results of the test have not been announced. The natural uranium containing rod has been delivered to Tehran research reactor after testing. The fuel rod has already been exposed to 1500 MWH of radiation and has been successful in neutron tests concerning radioactive levels or leakage. The rod is currently under exposure to more radiation to test its endurance qualities. IRI experts have already supplied the country with its needed radio isotopes immorally sanctioned by the West.
