Iran revelation could mean more secret sites - IAEA

Iran's belated revelation of a second uranium enrichment site raises concern about possible further secret nuclear sites in the country, according to a U.N. nuclear watchdog report on Monday obtained by Reuters.

It said Iran had told the International Atomic Energy Agency that it had begun building the bunkered site near Qom in 2007 but the IAEA had evidence the project began in 2002, paused in 2004 and resumed in 2006. Iran reported the site's existence to the IAEA in September.

IAEA inspectors also found that Iran had reduced since August the number of centrifuges enriching Uranium at its main Natanz site by 650 to 3,936, while slightly raising the total number of machines installed to 8,692. Western diplomats and analysts said the slowdown was probably caused by technical glitches.
