Iran Restarts Its Nuclear Program
Posted on: Monday, 8 August 2005, 18:00 CDT
The United Nations says Iran resumed its nuclear program at a plant in central Iran after voluntarily suspending its nuclear program a year ago.
The decision came Monday after a break down in negotiations with Britain, Germany and France on incentives for Iran to end a confrontation over its nuclear program.
U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei
told the agency's Board of Governors that Iran had started to feed uranium ore concentrate into the first part of the process line at the Uranium Conversion Facility in Isfahan.
Uranium enrichment is part of the process of making nuclear fuel.
Before the activity resumed the IAEA installed cameras to monitor the input stage of the process line, safeguards agreed to by Iran in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
ElBaradei said that the feeding of the concentrate had been before IAEA could test its cameras at the site which normally takes 24 hours following installation.
