Iran began construction of the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) at Esfahan in 1999 based on design information provided by China.

Tehran had received the required documents and training before China cancelled a contract to construct two UCFs in Iran under intense diplomatic pressure from the United States.

Construction of the first process line ended in 2004 and production started in 2005.

**********
The nuclear fuel cycle چرخه سوخت هسته اي, also called nuclear fuel chain زنجيره سوخت هسته اي, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages.

It consists of steps in the front end, which are the preparation of the fuel, steps in the service period in which the fuel is used during reactor operation, and steps in the back end, which are necessary to safely manage, contain, and either reprocess or dispose of spent nuclear fuel.

If spent fuel is not reprocessed, the fuel cycle is referred to as an open fuel cycle (or a once-through fuel cycle); if the spent fuel is reprocessed, it is referred to as a closed fuel cycle.
