The article states that the Iranian government agreed to redesign its Arak, Iran, nuclear reactor facility to cease the production of plutonium and not build further plutonium reactors for at least 15 years as part of the July 14, 2015, accord reached with the U.S. and other countries concerning Iran's nuclear weapons program. It examines what the article identifies as a relative lack of publicity concerning Iran's concession. The article presents comments from Stanford University professor and former Los Alamos, New Mexico, weapons lab director Siegfried S. Hecker.
