  • No sign Iran seeks nuclear arms: new IAEA head | U.S. | Reuters: The incoming head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Friday he did not see any hard evidence Iran was trying to gain the ability to develop nuclear arms. "I don't see any evidence in IAEA official documents about this," Yukiya Amano told Reuters in his first direct comment on Iran's atomic program since his election, when asked whether he believed Tehran was seeking nuclear weapons capability.
  • The Associated Press: IAEA chooses Japanese as new head: The world's top nuclear watchdog chose Japan's Yukiya Amano as its next head on Thursday ? and he touched on the devastation U.S. atom bombs wreaked on his country in pledging to do his utmost to prevent the spread of nuclear arms. The decision by the 35-nation International Atomic Energy Agency board ended a tug of war on who should succeed Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, who saw his agency vaulted into prominence during a high-profile 12-year tenure. North Korea left the nonproliferati on fold to develop a nuclear weapons program on ElBaradei' ;s watch and his agency later launched inconclusive probes on suspicions that those to nations were interested in developing nuclear weapons

  • UAE, S.Korea sign nuclear cooperation pact | Industries | Consumer Goods: UAE signed another US supported nuclear deal despite its overwhelming oil reserves (a main argument against any Iranian programme and evidence of iran's nucelar weapons programme, clearly not the main issue as this proves over and over, along with the US backed Indian programme)
  • Oil reserves (most recent) by country: UAE has 5th largest oil reserves in the world, the primary initial argument that Iran has a nuclear weapons program and should not be permitted to legally enrich uranium (it's right). That argument is clearly not a legitimate reason for the US to oppose iranian peaceful nuclear development as the US is funding a country with similar oil reserves

  • Israel Accuses ElBaradei of ?Bias? by Gordon Prather -- Antiwar.com: At a meeting of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency last week, Israel?s apparently paranoid delegate reportedly called on Director-Gener al Mohamed ElBaradei "to avoid political bias" and to refrain from "publicly lashing" Israel. That?s right! Israel?s delegate ? not Iran?s ? made those charges. Why apparently paranoid? Well, scroll back to June of 1981. The paranoid Israelis had somehow convinced themselves that the nuclear research reactor the French were building for the Iraqis at Tuwaitha ? which would be fueled with near-weapons-g rade enriched Uranium, already subject to IAEA Safeguards ? would be misused by Saddam Hussein to produce nuclear weapons.
  • Gremikha radiation monitoring - BarentsObserve r: A new system for monitoring the storage for the highly problematic liquid metal cooled reactors is taken into use. The old cores of the liquid metal cooled Alfa-class submarine reactors have been stored in Gremikha for decades and posed a radiation threat both to the environment and local residents. The new monitoring system is financed by the European Union?s Northern Dimension Environ Environmental Program (NDEP) and administrated by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The new computer-based monitoring system will be incorporated in the Murmansk regional system for radiation monitoring.

  • Global News Blog » Legacy-buildin g IAEA chief goes public with closed-door remarks | Blogs |: Insiders say Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, was rather reticent and stiff in public when he took the job in 1997. He?d spent decades below the radar in Egypt?s foreign service, U.S. academia and the U.N. nuclear watchdog as head of the legal and external relations divisions. But Mohamed ElBaradei evolved into a politically outspoken tribune for international peace and fair play. That reputation grew as he challenged George W. Bush?s neocons over bogus evidence of mass-destructi on weaponry they used to invade Iraq, and their policy of threatening rather than negotiating with Iran, which seemed to backfire by encouraging, not dissuading, Tehran to build up nuclear capability.

  • Tight-fisted donors bastardizing IAEA: ElBaradei | International | Reuters: Countries balking at raising the International Atomic Energy Agency's budget have "bastardi zed" the U.N. watchdog to the point where it is struggling to combat growing proliferation threats, the IAEA chief said on Tuesday. "If you come to me and say in your wisdom to cut here and cut there, I and my colleagues will not assume responsibility if in a couple of years we see another Chernobyl (nuclear plant meltdown) or a nuclear terrorist or a clandestine nuclear (weapons) program," Director-Gener al Mohamed ElBaradei told a closed-door meeting of the IAEA's 35-nation board of governors. The governing body has for months held up a request for an 11 percent budget hike, with some major donors insisting on further zero real growth at a time of financial crisis while danger mounts of atom bomb know-how reaching volatile regions.
