VIENNA, Austria (AP) -- New traces of plutonium and enriched uranium - potential material for atomic warheads - have been found in a nuclear waste facility in Iran, a revelation that came Tuesday as the Iranian president boasted his country's nuclear fuel program will soon be completed.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report detailing the discovery also faulted Tehran for not cooperating with the U.N. watchdog's attempts to investigate other suspicious aspects of Iran's nuclear program.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in
a two-hour news conference in Tehran, asserted the world has
no choice but to "live with a nuclear Iran," although
he conceded his country was "still in the first stages"
of its uranium enrichment program.

So far, Tehran has been able to activate only two small experimental
pilot enrichment plants that U.N. officials say have frequently
broken down and have produced only small amounts of material
suitable for nuclear fuel.
