„Iran and world powers have agreed on clarifications to the 2015 nuclear deal that will effectively allow Iran to enrich more uranium than previously thought, Reuters reported Friday. The technical documents released by the office of European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini state that some of the enriched material held by Iran is not counted under the limits set by the accord – for instance unrecoverable uranium left in pipes.
‚All current low-level solid waste contaminated with low-enriched uranium (LEU) … which is deemed unrecoverable, is not part of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile as specified in the [accord] provided that Iran does not build or operate any facility or part of a facility capable of recovering LEU from solid waste for 15 years,‘ one clause quoted by Reuters said. The new documents would apparently allow Tehran more leeway in its activities, after diplomats warned earlier this week that Tehran could soon pass the agreed-upon limit on the material.“
