The director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency says the activities at the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran all conform with IAEA safeguards, Press TV reported.
"Preparations, activities at Bushehr are going on under IAEA safeguards," Yukiya Amano was quoted by Reuters as saying.
His remarks came as Iran started loading fuel assemblies into the core of the Bushehr facility's reactor on Tuesday.
Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters after visiting the facility that Iran would continue its peaceful nuclear program.
He added that the Bushehr nuclear power station is 'exceptional' when it comes to safety as Iran, Russia and the IAEA have all contributed to ensuring the safety of the facility.
Salehi also underlined that Iran is ready to answer any possible questions on its nuclear program that may be raised by the IAEA "only if those questions concern the agency's safeguards."
