The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed the presence of cooling infrastructure compatible with a nuclear reactor at a facility in Syria's Deir ez-Zor region. In a confidential report, the Agency stated that Syria's former administration had not declared nuclear material, facilities, and activities.
IAEA inspectors visited Deir ez-Zor and a second area related to nuclear material last month. Agency Director General Rafael Grossi praised Syria's transparency and cooperation; announcing that several tons of nuclear material were detected following Damascus's declaration.
The report notes that Syria has rectified the situation by providing the necessary nuclear material accounting reports and design information. The IAEA will continue to monitor activities in the area as excavation work progresses.
