IAEA PLEASED WITH IRAN'S NUKE REPORTING
LONDON [MENL] -- The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed satisfaction with Teheran's cooperation in granting access to and information about Iran's nuclear facilities.
IAEA director-general Mohamed El Baradei said his agency has made good progress in what he termed the intensive verification process concerning Iran's nuclear program. El Baradei said that over the last week he received what he was told was a complete and accurate declaration of Iran's past nuclear activities.
The IAEA gave Teheran an Oct. 31 deadline for full cooperation with the agency's inspection efforts in Iran. The United States has warned that any Iranian failure to cooperate with the agency would result in the Iranian nuclear issue being sent to the United Nations Security Council.
Over the last week, IAEA inspectors have been visiting and taking samples from Iranian nuclear sites as well as interviewing key personnel. IAEA officials said the agency seeks to verify the accuracy and completeness of the Iranian declaration.
