On Oct 14, Britain's Embassy in Tehran said in a statement that a UK team of nuclear experts had arrived in Tehran on Monday to help modernize Arak Reactor.

The statement read, "A team of British nuclear experts led by UK Chief Scientific Adviser Professor Robin Grimes arrived in Tehran today to take forward the next stages of the modernization of the Arak reactor, alongside a team of Chinese experts."

It added, "The experts will hold talks with the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran on international technical assistance to the reactor construction."

"This visit forms part of our commitment to ensuring that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) provides benefits for both Iran and the wider international community. That is why we are upholding our obligations to cooperate with Iran to modernize the Arak reactor, helping Iran to develop a modern and up to date civil nuclear programme."
