IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Kashan, Isfahan Prov, June 21, IRNA -- Natanz uranium enrichment site is one of safest nuclear facilities in Iran, an official in charge of the site’s safety said Sunday evening.
Addressing a local gathering in this central provincial city, Mohammad-Reza Amini rejected any report about the risk of nuclear radiation from Natanz nuclear site and its consequences for the local residents.
“Such speculations are made and fanned by un-informed people and even by enemies,” Amini said.
“The site is built according to related standards and is under regular inspection,” he said, stressing that “there is no contamination in Natanz nuclear site” which according to the official was protected within a radius of five kilometers and far from residential areas.
Amini said that there is no room for any concern, and rumors about contamination are aimed at damaging efforts made by the Iranian nuclear experts.
Meanwhile, Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization Ali-Akbar Salehi referred to the nuclear waste management as one of the top priorities of the IAEO.
Addressing a local gathering on nuclear waste management in Tehran, Salehi said that the IAEO is responsible for securing safety of next generations by preparing proper policies for management of radioactive waste produced through Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.
