IAEA Says ‘No Nuclear Or Radioactive Material’ In Natanz Fire :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

IAEA Says ‘No Nuclear Or Radioactive Material’ In Natanz Fire :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The International Atomic Energy Agency said it has been informed by Iran about a fire in a building at the site of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility early on 2 July.



Iran told the IAEA that the fire was quickly extinguished and that there had been no nuclear material or other radioactive material in the building. Iran said the cause was not yet known, adding there were no injuries or radioactive contamination.



The Natanz site is under IAEA safeguards, including verification and monitoring under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an agreement reached in Vienna in 2015, between Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Russia, the UK, the US plus Germany).
