UN Nuclear Agency Says Bombed Syrian Site Resembled Atom Plant
[Reuters] Mark Heinrich - A Syrian complex bombed by Israel bore features resembling those of an undeclared nuclear reactor and Syria must cooperate more with UN inspectors, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a report on Wednesday. The report said "significant" amounts of uranium particles were found at the site by inspectors in June but it was not enough to prove a reactor was there and further investigation was needed. The IAEA will ask Syria to show debris and equipment it whisked away from the site after the September 2007 Israeli air raid. "While it cannot be excluded that the building in question was intended for non-nuclear use, the features of the building, along with the connectivity of the site to adequate pumping capacity of cooling water, are similar to what may be found in connection with a reactor site," said the report.
