UN nuclear watchdog says no radiation risk after strike on Iranian heavy water plant
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA heavy water production plant at Khondab in Iran was hit on Friday, Iran tells the International Atomic Energy Agency.
“No radiation risk seen as installation contains no declared nuclear material,” the UN nuclear watchdog says on X.
Earlier, the IAEA said it was looking into damage on Iran’s yellowcake production facility that was hit, but that no off-site radiation levels had been reported.
Iran also reported the Khuzestan steel production factory, which uses radioactive sources, was subjected to strikes on Friday, the IAEA adds, saying there is no off-site radiation release.
