IAEA chief says Iran fuel swap talks could start soon

Talks to revive a stalled plan for Iran to swap some nuclear material for fuel could start within months, the UN atomic watchdog chief said on Monday, and there had been some positive signals from the countries involved.

IAEA chief Yukiya Amano told Reuters on the sidelines of a lecture in Singapore he had received a "positive reaction" from countries in the "Vienna Group," comprising Russia, France, the United States and the IAEA, to hold a dialogue on a potential fuel swap soon. (Reuters)
