UN nuclear team in Iran to visit newly revealed site

United Nations inspectors entered Iran's newly revealed uranium enrichment plant today, two days after the country postponed its response to a proposal for Russia to process nuclear fuel for a Tehran reactor. Inspectors of the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Iran late yesterday and will make several visits to the site, the state- run Mehr news agency reported. The team of experts, which is scheduled to leave Oct. 27, will compare information provided by Iran with data collected at the site, Mehr said in an earlier report, citing an unidentified Vienna-based official. The plant, which was revealed by Iran on Sept. 21, is its second to enrich uranium and isolate isotopes of the metal to generate fuel used in a nuclear reactor. The facility is about 100 miles south of Tehran on the way to the holy city of Qom, according to state-run Press TV.
