IAEA delegation in Iran to tackle remaining nuclear issues

Xinhua, April 15, 2015 Adjust font size:

A delegation of experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived in Tehran Wednesday to hold talks with Iranian officials on the remaining issues of the nuclear program, Press TV reported.

The delegation, led by Tero Varjoranta, the IAEA deputy director general and head of the department of safeguards, will hold one-day technical negotiations with the relevant Iranian officials within the framework of implementation of the Framework for Cooperation, said the report.

The negotiations will focus on the two issues of alleged explosives testing at a site in the western city of Marivan and neutron calculations, Behrouz Kamalvandi, the spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said on Tuesday.

Under an interim deal inked between Iran and the world's major countries in November 2013, Tehran suspended certain nuclear activities in return for limited easing of sanctions, as all sides continue working toward a comprehensive deal.

The latest report by the United Nations nuclear watchdog said that the IAEA had yet to receive information from Tehran on two outstanding issues related to the alleged nuclear bomb research, the so-called "possible military dimensions," which Iran denies. Endit
