IAEA/2006/53

By popular demand, I am telling everyone that ISIS posted the IAEA report:

Lots of things causing heartburn, but everyone is pointing to this paragraph noting some HEU particles on some waste containers:

17. The depleted uranium targets which had been irradiated in the course of the plutonium experiments are stored in containers located at the Karaj Waste Storage Facility (GOV/2005/67, para. 24). On 8 August 2005, the Agency took environmental samples from one of those containers. The results from their analysis, recently finalized by the Agency, indicate the presence of high enriched uranium particles. On 15 August 2006, Iran was requested to provide information about the source of the contamination and the past use of the containers.

There are plenty of other things to be worked up about. More on that later.
