No hidden nuclear facilities in Iran: IAEO head
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Nov 21, IRNA -- Head of Iran`s Atomic Energy Organization Gholam-Reza Aqazadeh said here Sunday that there exists no nuclear site in Iran hidden from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Talking to reporters after a meeting with a four-member delegation representing the Non-Aligned states in the IAEA Board of Governors, he said the United States and certain groups usually make propaganda against Iran on the eve of the Board of Governor`s meetings. "The NAM delegation visited the site where the United States claimed uranium enrichment is taking place. The IAEA has supervision on the site," Aqazadeh said, adding that there is no violation. "Isfahan UCF is to suspend its activities on Monday based on an agreement reached with the Europeans," he said. Shifting to a claim saying Iran accelerated uranium enrichment activities before November 22, the IAEO head said, "This plant has a specified capacity and cannot operate beyond that." Representatives of Cuba, Algeria, South Africa and Malaysia along with the IAEA inspectors, who are currently in Iran, on Saturday inspected various parts of uranium processing installations in Isfahan. The visitors also inspected cameras installed by IAEA to monitor the activities of the center. Non-Aligned Movement members of the IAEA Board of Governors have constantly supported Iran`s positions over its nuclear case and demanded that the case should be dealt with through a normal procedure. The center is located nine kilometers to the south of Isfahan. 2327/1423
