Iran Nuclear Negotiators Seek to Shift Industry Terms for Deal
This article is for subscribers only.
Negotiators in their second week of haggling over Iran’s nuclear work in Vienna are starting to change the terms they use to measure the country’s uranium industry, a move that could support a long-term deal.
Reaching an accord hinges on adopting the standard nuclear-industry measures for uranium enrichment capacity -- Separative Work Units, or, SWUs -- rather than counting centrifuge machines, Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization chief Ali Akbar Salehi said today in Tehran. The shift follows Russia’s announcement that representatives from the state-owned Rosatom Corp. would join this week’s talks.
