Iran reports no casualties in accident at ‘inactive’ nuclear site
Iran’s nuclear body says the “accident” that took place at a construction site in a nuclear complex caused no casualties and took place at an inactive site, state news agency IRNA reports.
“An accident occurred on Thursday morning and damaged a warehouse under construction in open space at the Natanz site” in central Iran, says Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the country’s Atomic Energy Organisation.
Kamalvandi is further quoted as saying that the complex is currently inactive and there is no risk of radioactive pollution.
The accident did not result in casualties, he added, noting that the cause was under investigation.
He did not give any details on the nature of the reported accident.
