Of these, only 5060 centrifuges will enrich Uranus for 10 years. Moreover, within 15 years after the agreement comes into force, the degree of enrichment of uranium should not exceed 3.67%, and its stocks will be reduced from 10 tons to 300 kg. All centrifuges in excess of the quantity agreed in the agreement and the enrichment infrastructure should be moved to warehouses and contained under the control of the IAEA.

The enrichment of Uranus in the country will have to go only at the enterprise in Natanze.

The reactor on heavy water in Arak is reconstructed, after which it will not be able to develop weapons plutonium.
