VIENNA, July 24 -- Olli Heinonen, deputy director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said Tuesday July 24th in Vienna after talks with Iran's deputy national security chief Javad Vaeidi that the IAEA would send an inspectors team to Iran early next week to visit the site of a heavy-water nuclear reactor in Arak, Iran.
The talks aimed at working out a plan "on clarifying the open issues associated with the scope and content of Iran's (uranium) enrichment program."
Vaeidi told the journalists after the talks that the two sides "had good discussions" and "made constructive progress," adding that Iran could maintain cooperation with IAEA in good atmosphere.
Due to the worry from the United States and other western countries about Iran's military aim at the plutonium produced by the still in building 40-megawatt heavy-water reactor in Arak, which would put into use in 2009, the IAEA's board of governors laid up its technical assistance for this heavy-water reactor last November.
