TEHRAN (ISNA)- The Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi said that the sale of heavy water in the US allows Iran to take the place of Canadian companies.

Those who have recently talked about the price of heavy water, perhaps are not aware of the situation of the international market, said Behrouz Kamalvandi.

"We sold the heavy water at the market price. This allowed us to take the place of Canadian companies, "he noted.

Regarding the JCPOA, "We are fulfilling our commitments. We expect the other party to do the same, "he noted.

He said that in the context of nuclear agreements with major powers, Iran can keep a stock of 130 tonnes of heavy water, and can sell its surplus of about 70 tonnes on international market.
