Iran to sell heavy water from Arak to US — official
Iran will sell part of its stock of heavy water to the United States under its nuclear deal with world powers, its deputy atomic chief says.
“Iran will sell 40 tons of its excess heavy water to the United States through a third country,” Zarean, deputy head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, is quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.
“Six tons of the exported heavy water will be used in nuclear facilities and the rest in American research centers,” he says.
Iran has a heavy water production plant in its Arak nuclear site, which has been operating for several years.
