Rosatom CEO: America is preventing the transfer of Iran's uranium to Russia for political reasons Alexey Lychchev said that Russia is ready to take over Iran's enriched uranium and pay in return fuel for the Bushehr power plant or the equivalent in cash. According to him, America rejects this proposal for political reasons and this opposition has no economic justification, because the volume of Iran's uranium is not significant compared to the transactions of the American nuclear industry.
