Russian state firm stops work at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility
2019-12-06
Getting out of the way of the inevitable.
[IsraelTimes] Russia’s Rusatom nuclear firm has halted work at Iran’s Fordo nuclear facility,
... a heavily fortified facility inside a mountain ringed by anti-aircraft batteries that has about 1,000 centrifuges. It’s monitored by the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency...
Russia’s Interfax news agency says.

The announcement comes weeks after Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
announced it would restart nuclear enrichment there, breaking the 2015 nuclear deal.

The TVEL unit of Rusatom, which makes nuclear fuel components, says in a statement that Iran’s decision to resume uranium enrichment at Fordo makes it impossible to produce radioactive isotopes for medical purposes.
The isotopes in question are tellurium and xenon, for those interested in such things.
The company notes that uranium enrichment is technologically incompatible with production of such isotopes. It adds that Iran would need to disassemble the centrifuges used to enrich uranium and decontaminate the room to continue the medical project.

The company says it had informed Iran of its decision.
