	Arak - Iran Special Weapons Facilities
		Iran strongly rejected the allegations and reiterated that the two plants were intended to generate electricity.
		The US believed Iran's true intent is to develop the capability to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons, using both the plutonium route (supported ultimately by a heavy-water research reactor) and the highly enriched uranium route (supported by a gas centrifuge enrichment plant).
		Iran has been asked to look into this matter further, particularly in light of recent open source accounts of alleged efforts by Iran to import remote manipulators and windows that would be suitable for use in hot cells.

	Iran inaugurates heavy-water production plant
		Iran provoked international controversy in April 2006 when it announced an earlier nuclear success: the enrichment of a small amount of uranium to reactor-grade levels (3.5% of the isotope uranium-235 using gaseous centrifuge technology.
		Iran claimed that the plans were still developing and that the missing facilities, known as hot cells, could not yet be designed without knowing other characteristics of the reactor, and that they were building a separate facility with those capabilities at the same site.
		Iran has insisted that under the terms of the 1968 treaty, it is guaranteed the right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

		ARAK, Iran, January 25, 2000 (IRNA) -- The per capita energy consumption in Iran is twice as high as the average world standard, said Ali Zabihi an expert with the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Studies, affiliated to the presidential institution, here Tuesday.
		He added that due to the lack of optimal use of energy in Iran, a great deal of energy is wasted in the industry sector and at homes which also causes air pollution.
		According to Zabihi, while the world standard for temperature at homes is between 18.5 to 19 degrees celsius, Iranians on average keep their homes as warm as 23 to 24 degrees celsius and waste a lot of energy in this way.

		Iran acknowledged the existence of a heavy water production plant at Arak after it was disclosed to the press in August 2002 by an Iranian opposition group.
		According to the U.S. State Department, Iran has no known heavy water reactor (aside from a small IAEA-safeguarded “zero-power” research reactor located at the Esfahan Nuclear Technology Center) and no need for an indigenous source of heavy water.
		Thus, the State Department said in May 2003 that it believes Iran’s true intent is to develop the capability to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons, using both the plutonium route (supported ultimately by a heavy-water research reactor) and the highly enriched uranium route (supported by a gas centrifuge enrichment plant).

		Denying the request should be a no-brainer - especially at a time when Iran is defying a Security Council order that it stop enriching uranium, usable for nuclear reactor fuel or potentially a nuclear bomb.
		But Tehran is adept at whipping up the suspicions of the board's nuclear have-nots, who jealously guard their right to all civilian nuclear technology, no matter the potential dangers.
		The Arak episode is one more reminder of why the world needs to find a better way to guarantee countries the benefits of civilian nuclear technology without also dangling the temptations of nuclear weapons.
