A nuclear watchdog has inspected a stockpile of 73 tons of natural uranium in Syria, according to a report. The inspection, conducted by an international agency, focused on the storage and security of the uranium. The agency confirmed that the material was properly safeguarded and in compliance with international standards.
The inspection followed recent concerns about nuclear proliferation in the region. Syria has been under scrutiny for its nuclear program, though it has denied any weapons-related activities. The agency emphasized that the uranium in question was for peaceful purposes only.
The visit marks a rare opportunity for transparency in Syria's nuclear activities. While the country has not officially acknowledged a nuclear program, the inspection highlights ongoing international efforts to monitor nuclear materials. The agency has called for continued cooperation to ensure safety and security.
No further details were provided about the duration or specific location of the inspection. The agency remains engaged with Syria on matters of nuclear non-proliferation.
