Both sides agreed this week of the date and program of the visit to the fertilizer plant in Homs, which produces "yellowcake," says the same source.
This product, which IAEA inspectors had found hundreds of pounds in 2004 during a visit to Homs, a uranium concentrate is capable, once refined, to be used as nuclear fuel. This new tour will in any case insufficient to allay Western suspicions about a secret military nuclear program that would lead Syria, said the IAEA.
In 2007, Israeli warplanes destroyed a complex under construction at Dair az Zor in eastern Syria, where the IAEA was later found traces of uranium. According to U.S. intelligence, the target of Israeli warplanes was a nuclear reactor of North Korean design intended to produce fuel for an atomic bomb.
The head of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano, vainly asked last year to Syria of letting the inspectors return to this site and visit other facilities suspicious.
