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.
