Tehran doesn't need all that infrastructure for civilian purposes
Under the framework agreement, Iran is allowed to keep 6,000 uranium centrifuges and operate over 5,000 of them at a given time. It will be allowed to keep a stockpile of 300 kg of 3.67% enriched uranium meaning they'll have a substantial stock of uranium enriched to 3.5% or lower that has no actual civilian application.
"The Russian reactors Iran is buying require upwards of 4% enrichment," Moore explained, and therefore the "enrichment level they're talking about isn't appropriate to the Russian reactors."
"What it will actually amount to 10 years from now is that they'll have a lot of accumulated low-enriched uranium, which means they're keeping their options open," Moore explained.
In other words, they'll be allowed to keep plenty of fissile material that's some percentage of its way to being enriched to weapons grade.
There's a similar issue with the heavy water reactor at Arak. Under the framework agreement, the reactor will be modified under international supervision. But Moore notes that technology-wise, the reactor is a 1970s-level relic without much in the way of present-day utility — unless Iran intends to keep its options open for producing plutonium for a nuclear weapon.
"You don't' need a water reactor for electricity and it's antiquated technology," he explained. "It only makes one thing: plutonium." Hmmm.....Death to Israel and America is still valid and the eradication of Israel is a must to them......sooner or later. We the West are all staring at the short run and are blind to the long term effect........They're not.Read the full story here.
