Israel’s attack on Natanz: IAEA Chief Grosy confirms internal radiation; No external risk found
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Friday confirmed that Israeli’s air strikes on Iran’s Non nuclear site caused internal radiological and chemical contamination. However, the level of radiation outside the convenience is normal and in his statement to the United Nations Security Council, IAEA Director General Rafael Grosi said that there is no threat to the public or environment.He said in his statement, “However, due to the effects, the features in the Natanz have radiological and chemical contamination. The type of radiation inside the feature, mainly alpha particles, are manageable with proper radiation safety measures,” he said in his statement.Groxy revealed that the Israeli strike destroyed the above ground section of the pilot fuel enrichment plant, enricting uranium to 60 percent U-235. The attack also damaged the electrical infrastructure, including both the main and emergency power systems. Although the underground cascade hall appears unpublished, the loss of electrical may affect the inner centrifuge.Iran informed the agency that only the Natanz site was directly hit, including fuel enrichment plant and pilot fuel enrichment plant. However, Iran reported nearby attacks at the Fordo Fuel Fuel Promotion Plant and Esfahan Complex, which has several other nuclear facilities.Grosi stated that the IAEA is in constant contact with Iran’s Atomic Regulatory Authority, to assess the status monitoring and damage, Griecy said. A special task force has been set up to monitor development and update the United Nations Security Council as required. Groxy expressed deep concern over the Israeli attack, reiterating that “nuclear facilities should never be attacked, regardless of reference or circumstances.”After the attacks, Israel stated that Iran was closer than ever to develop a nuclear weapon and described the attack as an essential task of defense. Iran responded to Tel Aviv with a missile strike, further inspired the Israeli Panterstrax.
