"The joint committee tasked with
redesigning the Arak Heavy Water Reactor Facility ... is performing its job
well," Ali Akbar Salehi was quoted as saying by Press TV.
"We are
consequently satisfied with the project's progress because the reactor's
reconstruction has picked up pace after being delayed for several months,"
he added.
Under the

water reactor.
