Radiological, chemical contamination inside Iran's Natanz nuclear plant, IAEA says
There is "radiological and chemical contamination" within Iran's Natanz facility, International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi told the United Nations Security Council Friday.
"It is possible that uranium isotopes contained in uranium hexafluoride, and hydrogen fluoride, are dispersed inside the facility," Grossi said.
Grossi said there is destruction at multiple sites including Natanz, Isfahan and Arak as well as sites in Tehran, but there are no sites where radiological activity has been identified outside facilities.
Grossi warned that the Bushehr nuclear facility might be hit, saying that this would be, "the nuclear site in Iran where the consequences of an attack could be most serious. It is an operating nuclear power plant and as such it hosts thousands of kilograms of nuclear material."

Worst case scenarios of an attack on Bushehr "would necessitate protective actions such as evacuations and sheltering of the population or the need to take stable iodine with a reach extending to distances from a few to several hundred kilometres," Grossi said.
