PREFACE
The E3/EU+3 (China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United

Kingdom and the United States, wflh the High Representative of the European
Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy) and the Islamic Republic of lran
welcome this historic Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which wilt
ensure that Iran's nuclear programme will be exclusively peaceful, and mark a

fundame,ltal shif! in their approach o Ibis issue. They anticipate that full
imp!ementa|ion of this JCPOA will positively contribute to regional and
international peace and security. Iran reaffirms that under no circumstances will han
ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons.
Iran envisions lhat this JCPOA will allow it to move lk)rward with an exclusively
peaceful, indigenous nuclear programme, in line with scientific and economic
considerations, in accordance witt the JCPOA, and with a view to building
confidence and encouraging international cooperation. In His context, the initial

mutually determined limitations described in this JCPOA will be followed by a

gradual evolution, at a reasonable pace, of Iran's peaceful nuclear programme.
including its enrichment activities, to a commercial programme for exclusively
peaceful purposes, consistent with international non-proliferation norms.

The E3/EU+3 envision that the implementation of this JCPOA will progressively
allow them to gain confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's
programme. The JCPOA reflects mutually determined parameters, consistent with
practical needs, with agreed limits on the scope of Iran's nuclear programme,

including enrichment activities and R&D. The JCPOA addresses the E3iEU+3"s
concerns, .including through comprehensive measures providing for transparency
and verification.

The JCPOA will produce the comprehensive lifting of al UN Security Council

sanctions as well as multilateral and national sanctions related to iran's nuclear
programme, including sleps on access in areas of trade, technolo.gy, finance, and
energy.

During the 15 yea] period, and as h'an gradually moves to meet in!ernational
qualification standards for nuclear fuel produced in Iran. it will keep its
uranium stockpile under 300 kg of up to 3.67c, enriched uranium hexafluoride
(UF6) or the equivalent in other chemical forms. The excess quantities are to
be sold based on international prices and delivered to the international buyer in
return for natural uranium delivered to Iran, or are to be down-blended to
natural uranium level. Enriched uranium in fabricated fuel assemblies from
Russia or other sources for use in Iran's nuclear reactors will not be counted

against the above stated 300 kg UF6 stockpile, if lhe crheria set out in Annex I
are met whh regard Io other sources. The Joint Commission will support
assistance to lran. includine throt>,h IAEA technical cooperation as
appropriate, in meeling internalional qualification standards for nuclear fucl
produced in Iran. All remaining uranium oxide enriched lo between 59 and
20/, will bc fabricalcd into fuel tkr the Tehran Research Reactor (TP, R). Any

additional fuel needed for the TRR will be made available 1<} Iran at
international market prices.

ARAK, HEAVY WATER, REPROCESSING

Iran will redesign and rebuild a modernised heavy water rcscarch reactor in
Arak, based on an agreed conceptual design, using fuel enriched up to 3.67 q,
in a form {/1" an international partnership which will certify the final design.
The reactor will support peaceful nuclear research and radioisotope production
for medical and industrial purposes. The redesigned and rebuilt Arak reactor
will nol produce weapons grade plutonium. Except for the firsl core load, all
of the activities lk)r redesigning and manufacturing of the fuel assemblies for
lhe redesigned reactor will be carried out in Iran. All spent fuel from Arak will
be shipped out of Iran for the lifetime of the reactor. This international

partnership will include participaling E3/EU+3 parties, Iran and such other
counlries as may be mutually determined, lran wil! Iake the leadership role as
the owner and as the project manager and the E3iEU+3 and h'an will, before
Implementation Day, conclude an official document which would define the

responsibilities assumed by the E3/EU+3 participants.

.

Iran plans to keep pace with the trend of international technological

advancement in relying on light water for its future power and research
reactors with enhanced international cooperation, including assurance of
supply of necessary fuel.

10.

There will be no additional heavy water reactors or accumulation of heavy

waler in Iran for 15 years. All excess heavy water will be made available for
export to the international market.

11.

Iran intends t{/ ship out all spent fuel for all future and present power and
research nuclear reactors, for further treatment or disposition as provided for
in relevant contracts to be duly concluded with the recipient parly.

Commission for resoludon: similarb,< if any of the E3!EU+3 bdi e,,ed hat Iran
was no meeting its eomnhments mder this JCPOA. any of the E3/EU+3
could do he same. The Joint Commission would have 15 days to resohe the
issue, unless the time period was extended by consetlsus, After Joint
Commission consideration, any paHicipanl could retkr the issue o Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, if it believed the comp!iance issue had ot been resoh'ed.

t 9/I 04

Si2015/547

Ministers would have 15 days to resolve the issue, unless the time period was
extended by consensus. After Joint Commission consideration - in parallel
with (or in lieu of) review at the Ministerial le,el - either the complaining
participant or tile participant whose performance is in question could request
that the issue be considered by an Advisory Board. which would consist of
three members (one each appointed by the participants in the dispute and a
third independent member). The Advisory Board should provide a non-binding
opinion on the compliance issue within !5 days. If, after this 30-day process
the issue is not resolved, the Joint Commission would consider the opinion of
the Advisory Board for no more than 5 days in order to resolve the issue. If the
issue still has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the complaining
participant, and if the complaining participant deems the issue to constitute
significant non-performance, then that participant could treat the unresolved
issue as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in

whole or in part and/or notify the UN Security Council that it believes the
issue constitutes significant non-performance.
37.

Upon receipt of the notification from {he complaining participant, as described

above, including a description of the good-faith efforts the participant made to

exhaust tte dispute resolution process specified in this JCPOA, the UN

Security Council, in accordance with its procedures, shall vote on a resolution
to continue the sanctions lifting. If the resolution described above has nol been

adopted within 30 days of tile notification, then the provisions of the old UN
Security Council resolutions would be re-imposed, unless the UN Security
Council decides otherwise. In such event, these provisions would not apply
with retroactive effect to contracts signed between any party and 1ran or
Iranian individuals and entities prior to tile date of application, provided tllat
the activities contemplated under and execution of such contracts are
consistent with this JCPOA and the previous and current UN Security Council
resolutions. The UN Security Council, expressing its intention to prevent the

reapplication of the provisions if the issue giving rise to the notification is

resolved within this period, intends to take into account the views of the States
involved in the issue and any opinion on the issue of the Advisory Board. han
has stated that if sanctions are reinstated in whole or in part, Iran will treat that
as grounds to cease performing its commitments under this JCPOA in whole or
in part.

37.

h'an will continue testing of the IR-6 on single centrifuge machines and its
intermediate cascades and will commence testing of up to 30 centrifuge
machines from one and a halt" years before tile end of year 10. Iran will
proceed from single centrifuge machines and small cascades to intermediate
cascades in a h)gical sequence.

38.

Iran will commence, upon start of implementation of the JCPOA, testing of the
IR-8 on single centrifu*,e machines and its intermediate cascades and will
commence the testing of up to 30 centrifuges machines from one and a half
years before the end of year 10. Iran will proceed from single centrifuges to
small cascades to intermediate cascades in a logical sequence.

39.

For 10 years, Dan, consistent with the established practice, will recombine the
enriched and depleted streams from the IR-6 and IR-8 cascades through the
use of welded pipework on withdrawal main headers in a manner that
precludes Ihe wifldrawat of enriched and depleted uranium materials and

verified by the IAEA.

40.

For 15 years, Iran will conduct all testing of centrifuges with uranium only at
the PFEP. Iran will conduct all mechanical testing of centrifuges only al the
PFEP and the Tchran Research Centre.

41.

For tile purpose tel" adapting PFEP to the R&D activities in Hae cm-ichment and
enrichment R&D plan. Dan will remove all centrifuges except those needed for
testing as described in the relevant paragraphs above, except for tile IR-1
cascade (No. 1) as described below. For file full IR-I cascade (No. 6), Iran will
modify associated intastructure by removing UF6 pipework, including
sub-headers, valves and pressure transducers at cascade level, and frequency
inverters. The IR-I cascade (No. 1) centrifuges will be kept but made
inoperable, as verified by the IAEA, through the removal of centrifuge rolors
and the injection of epoxy resin into the sub headers, feeding, product, and
tails pipework, and the removal of controls and electrical systems for vacuum,
power and cooling. Excess centrifuges and infrastructure will be stored at
Natanz in Hall B of FEP under IAEA continuous monitoring. The R&D space

in line No. 6 will be left empty until Iran needs to use it for its R&D
programme,
42.

Consislent with the activities in the enrichment and enrichment R&D plan,
han will maintain the cascade infrastructure for testing of single centrifuges
and small and intermediate cascades in two R&D lines (No. 2 and No. 3) and
will adapt two other lines (No. 4 and No. 5) with infrastructure similar to that
for lines No. 2 and No. 3 in order to enable future R&D activities as specified

in this JCPoA. Adaptation will include modification of all UF6 pipework

(including removal of all sub headers except as agreed as needed for the R&D
programme) and associated instrumentation to be compatible will1 single
centrifuges and small and intermediate cascade testing instead of full scale
testing.
43.

Consistent with its plan and internationally established practices, Iran intends
to continue R&D on new types of centrifuges through computer modelling and

through export of any enrichment or enrichment related equipment and
technology, with any other country, or with any foreign entity in enrichment or
enrichmenl related activities, including related research and developmenI
activities, following approval by the Joint Commission.

ACCESS
74.

Requests for access pursuanl to provisions of this JCPOA will be made in

good faith, with due observance of the sovereign rights of Iran, and kept to the
minimum necessary to effectively implement the verification responsibilities
under this JCPOA. In line with normal international safeguards practice, such
requests will not be aimed at interfering with Iranian military or other national
security activities, but will be exclusively for resolving concerns regarding
fulfilment of tile JCPOA commitments and Iran's other non-proliferation and
safeguards obligations. The following procedures are for tile purpose of
JCPOA implementation between the E3!EU+3 and h'an and are without
prejudice to the safeguards agreement and the Additional Protocol thereto. In
implementing this procedure as well as other transparency measures, the IAEA
will be requested to take every precaution to protect commercial, technological
and industrial secrets as well as other confidentia! information coming to its
knowledoe

75.

In furtherance of implementation of the JCPOA, if the IAEA has concerns

regarding undeclared nuclear materials or activities, or activities inconsistent
with the JCPOA, at locations that have not been declared under tile
comprehensive safeguards agreement or Additional Protocol, |he IAEA will
provide lran the basis for such concerns and request clarification.

76.

If Iran's explanations do not resolve the IAEA's concerns, tlle Agency may
request access to such locations for the sole reason to verify the absence of
undeclared nuclear materials and activities or activities inconsistent with tile
JCPOA at such locations. The IAEA will provide Iran the reasons for access in
writing and will make available relevant information.

77.

Iran may propose to the IAEA alternative means of resolving the 1AEA's
concerns that enable the IAEA to verify the absence of undeclared nuclear
materials and activities or activities inconsistent with the JCPOA at the
location in question, which should be given due and prompt consideration.

78.

If the absence of undeclared nuclear materials and activities or activities

inconsistent with the JCPOA cannot be verified after the implementation of the
alternative arrangements agreed by Iran and the IAEA, or if tile two sides are
unable to reach satisfactory arrangements to verify the absence of undeclared
nuclear materials and activities or activities inconsistent with tile JCPOA at the
