(Reuters) Iran will pursue construction at the Arak heavy-water reactor, Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif said Wednesday. "Capacity at the Arak site is not going to increase. It means no new nuclear fuel will be produced and no new installations will be installed, but construction will continue there," Zarif told parliament. Former chief UN nuclear inspector Olli Heinonen said: "Technically, such efforts are not reasonable if the goal is either to dismantle the reactor or modify it to a more proliferation-resistant, smaller light-water reactor." Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz said: "The ink has not even dried on the agreement and already we are hearing provocative announcements from Iran, like this."
