Iran's atomic chief wants detonator issue closed
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran complained that the number of questions regarding Iran's nuclear program were increasing, despite Iran's cooperation and previous understandings.
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), Ali Akbar Salehi, protested to the chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Yuki Amano, regarding the increases in questions about Iran’s explosive detonators and the lengthy process of resolving questions about their nuclear program.
“In previous meetings, we had a memorandum of understanding that in consideration of the answers to the questions of the IAEA about EBW [exploding bridgewire detonator], for them to consider this issue to be closed; but they didn’t do this, meaning they want to consider it closed in a half way, which we protested against,” Salehi said on Aug. 18, according to Iranian Students’ News Agency (ISNA).
