The Iranian Isfahan nuclear facilities struck earlier in the day held either no nuclear material or only small amounts of natural or low-enriched uranium, limiting any radioactive contamination to the affected buildings, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday.
“This nuclear complex in Esfahan – one of the key sites of the Iranian nuclear program – has repeatedly been attacked and extensively damaged,” Director General Rafael Grossi said.
“Based on our analysis of the nuclear material present, we don’t see any risk of off-site contamination. Nevertheless, as I have repeatedly stated, nuclear facilities should never be attacked.”
