Iranian news agency Mehr, revealed that a secondary circuit will be added to Arak nuclear reactor on Monday to defy USA.
That reactor runs basically by the heavy water.
The quasi –official news agency said that the first circuit inside the reactor disperses heat off the core of it.
The secondary circuit carries heat away from the first one to the towers of cooling then eventually to the outer environment.

However, running of the secondary circuit does not violate the restrictions imposed on the Iranian nuclear program inked with the five super powers and Germany in 2015.
Tensions between Iran and the USA have been escalating over the last period.
Iran works vehemently to upgrade the nuclear reactors to acquire deterrent arsenal to avoid a similar fate of Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
President Donald Trump vowed to walk out of the nuclear if he was elected to the presidency. After assuming the presidency, he pulled out of the deal in 2018.
Iranian authorities had removed the core of Arak’s reactor and replaced it with concrete to abort it.
But Iran is still able to produce the heavy water at facilities of that reactor that situated in the center of the country.
The Iranian officials threaten to relinquish restrictions of the nuclear deal gradually until the European powers signed the deal to protect the Iranian economy from the destructive fallouts of sanctions imposed by the USA.
Last November, Iran began pouring concrete for a second nuclear reactor at its Bushehr power plant, a facility Tehran points to as its reason to break the enrichment limit set by its unraveling 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
While celebrating the start of construction, the politics of the moment weren’t lost on Iranian officials as a U.S. pressure campaign of sanctions blocks Tehran from selling its crude oil abroad. Those sanctions took effect after President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew America from the accord in May 2018, lighting the fuse for the current tensions now gripping the wider Mideast.
“It was not us who started breaking commitments, it was them who failed to keep to their commitments and cannot accept the nuclear deal as a one-way roadmap,” said Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
Bushehr is fueled by uranium produced in Russia, not Iran, and is monitored by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency. However, Iran began 4.5% enrichment in part to supply Bushehr despite the deal limiting it to 3.67%.
