'We have produced over 160 tons of heavy water, out of which about 130 tons will remain stored for later use to operate the [Arak] reactor,' Ali Akbar Salehi said in a recent interview with Al-Alam News Network.
Salehi said, 'We have put the remaining 30 tons up for sale as agreed' under the July 14 nuclear deal with major powers, which will place temporary constraints on Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
The nuclear chief said Iran is ready to trade heavy water with any country, including the United States, for either cash or natural uranium, also known as yellowcake.
'The US should be considered a potential customer because it is the world's largest buyer of heavy water,' he said.
