Obama 'Admin': 'Iranian President’s Order on N. Propulsion Devices No Breach of JCPOA'. (IFP).
“Such an announcement does not run
counter to the JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action),” a senior
Obama administration official said on condition of anonymity, in
reference to the nuclear deal, Reuters reported.
In separate directives issued to the
Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) on
Tuesday, President Rouhani demanded that they draw appropriate plans to
design and manufacture nuclear propulsion devices as well as the fuel
required for them.
He instructed Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif and Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the AEOI, to report back
to him on the issue within a maximum period of three months.
The president said the measures were
warranted in light of the United States’ foot-dragging in fulfilling its
commitments under the multilateral nuclear deal and the recent
ratification of an anti-Iran legislation in the US Congress known as the
Iran Sanctions Act (ISA).
Hmmmm.........
U.S. naval reactors are all pressurized water reactors, which are identical to PWR commercial reactors producing electricity, except that:
- they have a high power density in a small volume and run either on low-enriched uranium (as do some French and Chinese submarines) or on highly enriched uranium (20% U-235, current U.S. submarines use fuel enriched to at least 93%, compared to between 21–45% in current Russian models, although Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker reactors are enriched up to 90%),
