Iran reluctant to respond inspector’s solicits for information: Says IAEA
Restricting some UN inspectors and breaking UN seals imposed by Iran has been accused by United Nations’ nuclear watchdog today.
The International Atomic Energy Agency continues complaining about Iran’s reluctant behavior on providing information about its activities and plans in its quarterly report on Iran’s programme. Specifically, the report says that agency is unable to monitor nuclear work going on in Iran due to its continued reluctant and cold behavior and is a hot topic in several UN resolutions and international sanctions.
However, IAEA observes that Iran has right to stop inspections on some level for example on the basis of nationality – but denied strongly on Iranian claim that “false and fake” report has been made by two inspectors earlier. The report in question was about separating uranium or plutonium from spent nuclear fuel and removal of sensitive laboratory equipment under IAEA surveillance. Further IAEA did not accept blame on impartiality and professionalism of concerned inspectors.

Some of its seal on Iran’s stockpile of low enriched uranium (LEU) has been broken, indicated by UN agency. The purpose of seals are to obstruct and ensuring that Iran is purifying and converting LEU to weapon-grade purity secretly. Iran responded that the said seals had been broken by chance, but agency did not believe it and said it would verify it in next month’s stocktaking exercise if any nuclear material had been converted.
An authority on agency’s Iran file claimed that seals are meant for containment and once seals are broken there is no containment.
Although UN regularly demanded Iran to curb the enrichment of Uranium on the basis it can be used in making weapons and as well in power plants. On the contrary, Iran insists that its programmes are meant only for peaceful purposes and also claims that it has right to enrich Uranium for its programmes. Till now Iran has already amassed 2.8 tonnes of LEU, but is does not seems that it has also enriched it on the same rate. However, Iran is advancing to stockpile of Uranium enriched to a higher lever of purity, regardless of UN resolution, whereas Iran says that this Uranium is required in Tehran in a medical research reactor.

We have to worry now whether the Iranians are weakening safeguards to the point that if they do “break out” [try to build a bomb insidiously]., if won’t be noticed for a longer period of time.”, said by one of the ex-nuclear inspector David Albright, who is now the head of the Institute for Science and International Security.
