The United States offered uranium enrichment and reprocessing plant facilities to Iran in the mid-1970s if it bought nuclear power plants from U.S. companies, invested in an enrichment plant in United States and shared plutonium reprocessing plant with Pakistan, recently declassified U.S. documents reveal.

The documents were found on the website of the Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Two documents in particular, dated April 22, 1975 and April 20, 1976, show that the United States and Iran held negotiations for cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the United States was willing to help Iran by setting up uranium enrichment and fuel reprocessing facilities.

The first memorandum, titled ''U.S.-Iran nuclear cooperation,'' said the Iranian share in the enriched uranium fuel should be based on the approximate number of reactors planned to be purchased from U.S. suppliers and proposed investment in the enrichment facility.

1975
US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Iranian Finance Minster Hushang Ansari sign a broad trade agreement that calls for the purchase of eight reactors valued at $6.4 billion. The US Atomic Energy Commission agrees to supply Iran with fuel for two 1,200MWe light water reactors and signs a provisional agreement to supply fuel for as many as six additional reactors with a total power capacity of 8,000MWe. The fuel agreements, however, are both subject to US governmental approval.

Its easy. We have the receipts from the 1980's...

2. Pre- TMI and Shah in power

At that time we would have done many things to keep our listening post on the southern flank of the evil empire.

Also I don't beleive those LW Reactors produce the Bomb Grade Pu that comes from the proposed Russian designed/built reactor for Iran.
