The IAEA goes into more detail that usual about its disagreement with Iran over when the government is supposed to tell the agency about new nuclear facilities.
Iran has long stonewalled an IAEA investigation into the possible military aspects of its past nuclear activities, relating mostly to the period before 2003, saying intelligence spurring the agency's investigation was fabricated.
All this, along with a complete lack of progress on agreeing guidelines for the IAEA's investigation into Iran's alleged past weaponisation work, adds up to a fairly negative report.
All sides at the Vienna talks have agreed that the resolution of the IAEA's inquiry into past weaponisation work will be achieved at some later date over the lifetime of a comprehensive deal, when it will be tied to the lifting of the last sanctions on the country.
The documents detail the IAEA's investigation into Iran's alleged past nuclear weapons development -- and access to those documents is off-limits even to the Obama administration.
"It's no big deal, as long as it is in visual view of IAEA inspectors, using IAEA swabs, IAEA bags, sealed in front of them, and the bags come into the custody of the IAEA inspectors".
Tehran also cooperated with the IAEA so that the agency could complete its investigation into Iran's suspected past work on nuclear weapons design.
How could the sampling be under IAEA responsibility and monitoring if no IAEA experts were there?
The DOE experts will brief the IAEA of their concerns, and said the IAEA could provide additional seals appropriate for long-term storage and cameras.
Iran denied it was clandestine and said it had informed the IAEA about the plant earlier this week.
The heat and blast at the FDNPP accident resulted in the leakage of a huge amount of anthropogenic radionuclides, near the levels of the Chernobyl accident in 1986, into the environment (IAEA 2006; Janžekovič and Križman 2011; NISA 2011), as seen on both the domestic and Northern Hemispheric scale (Hernández-Ceballos et al. 2012; Masson et al. 2011; Takemura et al. 2011; Tanaka 2013).
