Denmark gives Iran 10kg highly enriched uranium - mid 1970s

Mid-1970s
Denmark supplies Iran with 10kg of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and 25kg of natural uranium for research reactor fuel. [Note: After Iraqi bomb attacks on Iran's Bushehr reactors in November 1987, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirms that Iran had moved a small amount of research reactor fuel to the site in hopes of heading off an attack. One source indicates the fuel was supplied by Denmark.]
