IAEA LEU Bank Becomes Operational with Delivery of LEU

摘要

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) took delivery of a shipment of low-enriched uranium (LEU) at a new facility in Kazakhstan this week, establishing the IAEA LEU Bank, which aims to provide assurance to countries about the availability of nuclear fuel. “With the arrival of the first shipment, the IAEA LEU Bank is now established and operational,” IAEA Acting Director General Cornel Feruta said. “It is the first time the Agency has undertaken a project of this legal, operational and logistical complexity.”
