Iran to Return to Pre-JCPOA Uranium Enrichment Level - AEOI

By Staff, Agencies

Iran will soon return to uranium enrichment level it had before 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action [JCPOA] according to Spokesman for Atomic Energy Organization of Iran [AEOI] Behrouz Kamalvandi.

“With new machines that were put into place in the third phase of reduction of nuclear commitments, there won’t be any mixture of waste and other products, pushing the country’s nuclear energy production to 2,600 Su. Our capacity will increase gradually. In total, there will be 9,500 Su of nuclear energy which is the same level before the nuclear deal of 2015,” Kamalvandi said on Thursday.

Iran further reduced its nuclear commitments on Thursday in response to European passive actions in the wake of US sanctions.

He mentioned that Iran’s nuclear capacity before the JCPOA was 1000 Su, adding that new machines will help increase this capacity.
