TEHRAN, April 13: Students in an Iranian university are planning to celebrate a breakthrough in the nuclear drive by eating a huge yellow cake, a press report said on Thursday.

Yellowcake is milled uranium which is in turn converted into uranium hexafluoride — a gas that is fed into centrifuges to be enriched to make nuclear fuel — something that Iran managed to do this week.

The Etemad daily said students and staff at Amir-Kabir — a prominent science and engineering university in Tehran — would mark this landmark achievement by devouring an enormous yellow-coloured cake. The report said the cake would weigh 114 kilos — the number of Surats in holy Quran — with the event set to take place on Sunday.—AFP
