Iran signals plan to build nuclear-powered ships

(Worthy News) – Tehran has told United Nations nuclear inspectors of its plan to build nuclear reactors for ships, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Thursday.

In a quarterly report on Iran’s conformity with the landmark 2015 nuclear deal that restricted Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, the IAEA said the Islamic Republic remained compliant and had informed the agency of a “decision that has been taken to construct naval nuclear propulsion in future.”

The Vienna-based UN body said it received a letter in January, but it contained no further details of the project. Tehran now has until mid-May to provide more comprehensive proposals. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
