VIENNA
The International Atomic Energy Agency and the Islamic Republic of Iran reached an agreement on new practical measures to be implemented within the Framework for Cooperation on Wednesday.
An agreement, the Framework for Cooperation, was signed on November 11 between the agency and Iran, which meant Iran, would provide access and information into its past nuclear activities to alleviate the agency’s concerns about the country’s nuclear program.
The agreement centers around five practical measures to be applied within the Framework for Cooperation by August 25, 2014.
The new measures will see Iran exchanging information with the agency, including information on “the conduct of large scale high explosives experimentation in Iran”, as well as information on studies made on neutron transport.
Iran must also arrange technical visits to nuclear research and development centers for the agency as well as providing access to workshops, storage facilities and a reactor.
A fourth round of talks between Iran and the P5+1 in Vienna last week had indicated no progress towards a comprehensive agreement over Iran's nuclear program.
