Iran has removed the core of its Arak heavy-water nuclear reactor and filled it with cement, according to the country's official news agency Fars.
The fate of the reactor was one of the toughest sticking points in Iran's long nuclear negotiations last year.
Under the terms of the deal, Iran agreed the heavy-water reactor would be reconfigured so it was not capable of yielding material for a nuclear weapon.
The removal of the core is one of the final steps required by the deal.

It will bring Iran closer to the relief from economic sanctions negotiated in exchange for changes to its nuclear industry.
The negotiations were conducted with the so-called P5+1 - the US, the UK, China, France, Russia, and Germany, and led to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
All six nations involved in the negotiations have agreed to participate in the redesign and construction of a modernised reactor at Arak.
Iran denies that any of its nuclear activity is geared at developing weapons, and says the 40-megawatt, heavy-water plant at Arak is used to produce isotopes for cancer and other medical treatments.
Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesperson for Iran's atomic energy agency, told the Etemad newspaper Iran "has met its commitments under the July nuclear agreement earlier than expected".
"Implementation of JCPOA will finish in the next seven days," he said.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on state television on Monday: "We are hopeful that the sanctions against Iran will be lifted in the next few days."
Under July's agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency will decide when Tehran has complied fully with its obligations.
