Iran Wants to Break IAEA Seals on Frozen Atomic Parts
Iran has asked the United Nations' International Atomic Energy Agency to let it temporarily break UN seals on atomic equipment that has been mothballed under an agreement with the EU's three biggest powers, diplomats said yesterday. A senior Iranian official confirmed this was true but denied that it was a violation of its pledge to freeze all activities linked to the production of enriched-uranium fuel, a technology that can be used to in either atomic power plants or weapons. "The Iranians have approached the (UN) agency with a request to temporarily remove seals from a component at the UCF (Uranium Conversion Facility) in Isfahan to conduct a test on this component," a diplomat said on condition on anonymity.
