| IAEA: traces of uranium came from Pakistan |
| 2005-08-21 |
| United Nations nuclear agency tests have concluded that traces of highly enriched uranium on centrifuge parts were from imported equipment - rather than from any enrichment activities by Iran, a senior western diplomat said Saturday. The findings by the International Atomic Energy Agency support Iran's claims that the material entered the country together with centrifuge parts provided by Pakistan. It was a package deal. 2-for-1 special. The traces were found on centrifuges in the city of Natanz in 2003 and raised concerns about the motives behind Iran's nuclear activities. Iran has insisted it is only interested in processing low-enriched uranium to generate electricity. The IAEA has been testing centrifuge parts provided by Pakistan as well as uranium found on centrifuges bought by Iran on the nuclear black market. Pakistan provided the components earlier this year to compare the traces and assess Iran's claims of innocence. More at the link. |
