ElBaradei verifies Iran`s suspension of enrichment related, reprocessing activities

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 29, IRNA -- The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
Director General Mohamed ElBaradei here Monday said the Agency had 
been able to complete its verification of Iran`s suspension of its 
enrichment related and reprocessing activities. 
Addressing reporters before the start of the Monday afternoon 
meeting of the Board of Governors, he said the only exception is 
related to Iran`s request to use up to 20 sets of centrifuge 
components for research and development (R and D) purposes. 
Today, Agency inspectors put surveillance cameras in place to 
monitor the 20 sets of centrifuge components, he said announcing that 
the identification numbers have also been received. As a consequence, 
all measures necessary for the verification of Iran`s suspension of 
enrichment related activities are now in place, he added. 
"Naturally, I will inform board members should the suspension not 
be fully sustained, or should the Agency be prevented from verifying 
all elements of the suspension," ElBaradei reiterated. 
Iran`s stands towards completion of enrichment is undoubtedly in a
correct way which reduces international concern regarding the nature 
of Iran`s nuclear activities, he said adding that such a move will 
lead to confidence building regarding Iran`s nuclear programs. 
The more transparent Iran will be in its nuclear activities, the 
better the Agency will be able to convince the international community
regarding peaceful nature of Iran`s nuclear programs, ElBaradei told 
reporters.
