Iran silent on uranium

IRAN yesterday turned over to the UN nuclear agency documents on its past atomic energy activities, but the dossier apparently did not include the origin of traces of weapons-grade uranium found in the country.

“We have submitted a report fully disclosing all our past activities in the nuclear field,” Ali Akbar Salehi, Iran’s representative to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, told reporters.

Neither Salehi nor IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei would detail the contents of the package of documents. ElBaradei said he expected the information to answer all outstanding questions about Iran’s nuclear activities.
