AKIPRESS.COM - The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on December 10 received the second and final shipment of low-enriched uranium (LEU), the IAEA reports.
Kazakhstan's JSC National Atomic Company Kazatomprom - the world's largest producer of natural uranium - delivered 28 cylinders of LEU to the facility at the Ulba Metallurgical Plant (UMP) in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. The uranium originated from Kazakhstan and was enriched at a facility in neighbouring Russia before the LEU was transported by train to the site in eastern Kazakhstan, where it was checked and officially accepted by IAEA experts.
Specialists say it was checked and officially accepted by IAEA experts and poses no threat to the population.
