U.S. Accepts Iran Keeping 3.67%-Enriched Uranium in Country
Washington wants Iran's separate stockpile enriched to 60% reduced; the scope of any inspector mission remains unset.

The United States accepted Iran retaining uranium enriched to 3.67% inside the country, and Tehran agreed.
The understanding would let Iran keep the 3.67%-enriched material inside the country.
The scope of any inspectors' work has not been set.
A proposal would use a third country to lower the enrichment level of Iran's more highly enriched uranium. Washington wants Iran's existing stockpile enriched to 60% reduced, and an initial agreement on lowering enrichment is expected.
The 3.67% material is at a lower enrichment level than the 60% stockpile targeted for reduction.
