Correct. And because of that, why develop the technology to reprocess fuel rods? They would have run a high risk of failure. Much simpler to stick with the other reactors. As long as they run the other reactors there is no need to develop ability to use the rods from the light water reactors with acceptable efficiency. OTOH as long as they are running the other reactors, we've achieve nothing in terms of stopping them from getting nukes. "Also they had a parallel uranium enrichment program." The big loophole in the agreement. Which should have been fixed instead of essentially chucking the whole thing. Its a big enough loophole to make the original agreement fatally flawed, and its not one that could have been simply and easily fixed, it would require a new agreement. There is some benefit to getting that new agreement as part of multiparty talks, which is what we did. Unfortunately this agreement is hardly a guaranteed success, but its better than the previous one.
