VIENNA (Reuters) - Sunday's agreement to curb Iran's nuclear programme contains an apparent gap that could allow Tehran to build components off-site to install later in a nuclear reactor where it has promised to halt work, experts said.

They said any impact of the omission is likely to be small if Iran follows other undertakings in the interim accord, which is designed to restrain Tehran's nuclear programme for six months in return for limited sanctions relief.
