IAEA: Iran's Heavy Water Stock Exceeds Authorized Limit

Agence France-Presse

   VIENNA - The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog said Monday that Iran's stock of
   heavy water for reactors has surpassed the limit set under its
   agreement with world powers.

   The International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement that Iran's
   heavy water production plant was in operation and that its stock of
   heavy water reserves was 131.5 tons, above the 130-ton limit.

   "On 17 November, the Agency verified that the Heavy Water Production
   Plant (HWPP) was in operation and that Iran's stock of heavy water was
   131.5 metric tonnes," an IAEA spokesperson said.

   It was the first time the agency has recorded a volume greater than the
   level agreed upon as part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
   (JCPOA) reached in 2015 with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia,
   the United States and the European Union.
