IAEA Finds Graphite, Uranium Traces at Suspected Syrian Nuclear Site
[Reuters] Mark Heinrich - UN inspectors found graphite and more uranium traces in test samples taken from a Syrian site Washington says was a covert graphite nuclear reactor almost built before Israel bombed it, officials in Vienna said on Thursday. One senior UN official said the discovery of additional uranium traces was "significant." The IAEA's November report said the site bore features that would resemble those of an undeclared nuclear reactor. The U.S. says the site was a reactor that was close to being built with North Korean assistance and designed to produce plutonium for atomic bombs.
