Iran Nuclear Deal 2015

Question 1

Signed in

Answer 1

Vienna

Question 2

Limits Iran’s Uranium 235 enrichment to

Answer 2

3.67%

Question 3

Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was also reduced by

Answer 3

98% to 300kg (660lbs), a figure that must not be exceeded until 2031.

Question 4

Low-enriched uranium, which typically has a 3-5% concentration of U-235, can be used to produce fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. Highly enriched uranium has a purity of 20% or more and is used in research reactors. Weapons-grade uranium is 90% enriched or more.

In July 2015, Iran had two uranium enrichment plants - Natanz and Fordo - and was operating almost 20,000 centrifuges.

Under the JCPOA, the country was limited to installing no more than 5,060 of the oldest and least efficient centrifuges at Natanz until 2026 - 10 years after the deal’s “implementation day” in January 2016.

Answer 4

addition, research and development must take place only at Natanz and be limited until 2024.

No enrichment is permitted at Fordo until 2031, and the underground facility must be converted into a nuclear, physics and technology centre. The 1,044 centrifuges left at the site are allowed to produce radioisotopes for use in medicine, agriculture, industry and science.
