Russia's Rosatom nuclear agency may purchase Iranian heavy water, Moscow's envoy said.





VIENNA (Sputnik)�� Russian nuclear agency Rosatom is considering the possibility of�buying Iranian heavy water, Russian Envoy to�International Organizations Vladimir Voronkov said.
�To date the Americans have bought a significant amount of�it [heavy water]. Moreover, Rosatom is thinking and is likely to�follow this path,� Voronkov told RIA Novosti in�an interview.




According to�the nuclear deal agreed last year, Iran must store no more than�130 tons of�heavy water during�the first year after�signing the agreement.

A new report from�the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) indicating Iran's compliance with�the Joint Comprehensive Plan of�Action (JCPOA) is a sign of�the efficiency of�the document agreed last year, Voronkov said.

He said that the upcoming meeting of�the IAEA Board of�Governors on�June 6-10 would discuss the report issued last week. Voronkov noted that the paper proves that Iran is successfully advancing on�its implementation of�the nuclear deal.
�In other words, we expect a usual conclusion with�the same assessments as�were presented in�the first report that the JCPOA is being implemented normally. That is very good. This is an indication that the document agreed last summer is absolutely efficient,� Voronkov told RIA Novosti in�an interview.


In July, Iran and six world powers, including the United States and Russia, signed the JCPOA agreement whereby Tehran agreed to�dismantle aspects of�its nuclear program to�ensure it is used for�peaceful purposes in�exchange for�sanctions relief.
