IAEA confirms Iran says building 2nd enrichment plant
VIENNA |
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran has told the U.N. nuclear watchdog that it has a second uranium enrichment plant under construction which will produce nuclear fuel only for the purpose of making electricity, the agency said on Friday.
"The agency also understands from Iran that no nuclear material has been introduced into the facility," International Atomic Energy Agency spokesman Marc Vidricaire said, adding that a letter from Iran had arrived on Monday.
"In response the IAEA has requested to Iran to provide specific information and access to the facility as soon as possible," he said, so U.N. inspectors could verify it would be used for peaceful purposes only.
