IAEA inspecteurs vinden verrijkt uranium in Syrië


Op verschillende plaatsen is in Syrië verrijkt uranium aangetroffen, waarvoor het geen verklaring kon geven.
 
Agency inspectors who visited the Dir Azur site after the 2007 bombing found highly processed plutonium, so the uranium traces may indicate Syria's nuclear program was more advanced than was previously assessed.
 
Het woordje 'was' is het enige positieve aan dit bericht.

'IAEA inspects site outside Damascus'

Following Monday's report that the IAEA had discovered processed uranium at three separate Syrian sites, UN inspectors on Tuesday conducted an emergency visit to a smaller site outside Damascus, Channel 10 reported.
 
According to Monday's report, IAEA inspectors had discovered enriched uranium in three sites besides Dir Azur, where IAF jets destroyed an alleged reactor in September 2007.
 
These findings have led the UN nuclear watchdog to suspect that Syria has uranium stockpiles.
 
The main cause for suspicion was the discovery of nuclear material traces near a small research nuclear reactor outside Damascus, the TV channel said Monday.
 
When the evidence was presented to the Syrians, they failed to provide convincing explanations, senior IAEA officials were quoted as saying.
