Iran, Six Powers Lock Horns over Arak Nuclear Reactor that Could Yield Plutonium
(Reuters) Fredrik Dahl and Parisa Hafezi - Iran and world powers locked horns on Wednesday over the future of Iran's Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor that could yield plutonium for bombs. The U.S. has called on Iran to scrap or radically alter the unfinished reactor, but Tehran has so far rejected that idea while hinting it could modify the plant. Enrichment is also a sticking point in the talks. "It's a gap (on enrichment) that's going to take some hard work to get to a place where we can find agreement," a senior U.S. official said. The two sides appeared to reach no agreements after two days of talks in Vienna and will meet again there on April 7-9.
