And inspectors have not been to the heavy water plant since August 2011.<\/p>\n<p>The Arak reactor is of concern to the international community because Tehran could theoretically extract weapons-grade plutonium from the its spent fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Under a deal reached last month with world powers in Geneva, Iran agreed that it would not commission the reactor or transfer fuel or heavy water to the site for a period of six months.<\/p>\n<p>However, construction delays have effectively made that a moot point, as the authorities had not hoped to finish work before the end of 2014. Subsequently, they said that target would not be met, without giving a new date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AFP &ndash; Inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Iran Saturday to visit the still-unfinished Arak heavy water plant for the first time in more than two years, the [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[175],"class_list":{"0":"post-15447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-nuclear","7":"tag-updated"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
