10 July 2014
The following is a statement attributable to IAEA Spokesperson
Gill Tudor on reports that Iraq has notified the United Nations
that nuclear material has been seized from Mosul University:
‘The IAEA is aware of the notification from Iraq and is in contact to seek further details. On the basis of the initial information we believe the material involved is low-grade and would not present a significant safety, security or nuclear proliferation risk. Nevertheless, any loss of regulatory control over nuclear and other radioactive materials is a cause for concern.’
