VIENNA, Sept 1 (AFP) - The UN nuclear watchdog said Wednesday it was "plausible" that Iran was telling the truth in claiming uranium contamination had come from imported equipment and not because Tehran was making material for an atomic bomb.
"It appears plausible" that contamination by highly enriched uranium at two sites in Iran "may not have resulted from the enrichment of uranium at those locations," the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in a confidential report obtained Wednesday by AFP.
