Iran Press/Europe: By saying that Iran is implementing its' nuclear-related commitments under the the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano continued: “it is essential that Iran continues to fully implement those commitments.”
“Our inspection work has doubled since 2013. IAEA inspectors now spend 3,000 calendar days per year on the ground in Iran. We have installed some 2,000 tamper-proof seals on nuclear material and equipment. We collect and analyse hundreds of thousands of images captured daily by our sophisticated surveillance cameras in Iran — about half of the total number of such images that we collect throughout the world, IAEA Director General noted.”
"IAEA inspectors had had access to all the sites and locations which they needed to visit. The Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its' Safeguards Agreement,” IAEA Director General added.
Addressing the 62nd Regular Session of IAEA General Conference, Amano went on to say that the Agency continues to monitor non-diversion of nuclear material declared by Iran under its Safeguards Agreement.
“The Agency now implements safeguards in 181 countries, helping to ensure that nuclear materials are not diverted from peaceful purposes. This is an important, and unique, contribution to international peace and security,” Amano said.
