IAEA: Atom fuel swap offer to Iran still on table

A proposal for Iran to send most of its enriched uranium abroad to allay fears it will be used to make atom bombs remains on the table, the UN nuclear watchdog said on Wednesday, despite Tehran's rejection of key terms.

"The proposal made by the IAEA in October 2009, which was supported by France, Russia and the United States, continues to be on the table," International Atomic Energy spokeswoman Gill Tudor told Reuters in Vienna. (Reuters)
