The United States renewed "civilian nuclear cooperation" waivers that allow Russian, European, and Chinese companies to pursue work at some of Iran's declared nuclear sites without the risk of U.S. sanctions. The 60-day waivers cover ongoing projects at the Bushehr nuclear power reactor, the Arak heavy water plant, and the Tehran Research Reactor.
