IAEA confirms unsealing of Natanz nuclear site

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Jan 10, IRNA
Iran-IAEA-Statement

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Tuesday that the agency unsealed Iranian nuclear site in Natanz.

IAEA said in a press release that removal of the seals from Natanz site's storage buildings of Pars Tarash and Farayand Technique will take place tomorrow (January 11).

It said that Iran had asked the UN agency to unseal Natanz nuclear site on January 7.

Iran had suspended activities at Natanz nuclear site voluntarily in 2003 as a confidence-building measure for national nuclear program.

Iran signed Additional Protocol to Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) to give the UN agency 'objective guarantee' that Iranian nuclear program will not be deviated from civilian purpose.

IAEA Charter specified Additional Protocol to NPT as 'objective guarantee' to ensure that nuclear programs of member states will not be diverted to military purpose.
