联合国报告显示伊朗扩大囤积核原料

The United Nations nuclear agency says Iran is continuing to stockpile nuclear material and is preparing equipment to enrich uranium to higher levels.

联合国的国际原子能机构说，伊朗在继续囤积核材料，并正在筹备设备，提炼高度浓缩铀。

A restricted report by the International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium has grown to more than 2.5 tons.

一份限制散发范围的国际原子能机构报告指出，伊朗已经囤积了超过2.5吨的低度浓缩铀。

Iran recently brokered a deal with Brazil and Turkey to ship out 1.2 tons of its uranium in exchange for nuclear fuel. But, with such a large stockpile, Iran still would have enough uranium left over that after further enrichment, could be used to produce a nuclear weapon.

伊朗最近与巴西和土耳其达成协议，同意把1.2吨的低度浓缩铀运往土耳其来换取核燃料。然而，由于伊朗拥有大量存货，所以它仍将有足够的金属铀来研制核武器。

Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.White House National Security Council spokesman Mike Hammer said the report underscores Iran's refusal to comply with the international requirements needed for negotiations on its nuclear program.

伊朗坚持它的核计划是出于和平目的。白宫国家安全委员会发言人麦克.哈默说，这份报告凸显伊朗拒绝遵守国际社会提出的就其核项目进行谈判所必须满足的要求。
