IAEA says Tehran poised to increase nuclear work
The United Nations nuclear agency says Iran is poised to double
its output of higher enriched uranium that can be turned easily
into the core of a nuclear warhead, Radio Liberty reported.
The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) finding is
contained in a new report it circulated on November 16 among the
agency's board.
The report says Iran is technically ready within days to ramp up
its production of 20 percent-enriched uranium at its Fordow
underground facility, doubling its present output.
The report also highlighted that Iran was refusing to allow an
investigation of alleged nuclear-weapons development projects and
sites.
The report says that Iran has shut down its only nuclear power
plant, at Bushehr.
The IAEA did not indicate why Iran removed the fuel from the
reactor on October 15.
Iran says all its nuclear activities are aimed for peaceful
purposes.
