Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi made the comments on national television on Saturday night. "We took great steps in designing and redesigning the Arak reactor,” Salehi said, noting that Iran is now among the few countries that can produce heavy water, which he called a "strategic product”. According to the understanding, Iran can sell its surplus heavy water after meeting its own needs, Salehi said.
