UN Watchdog Finds Uranium Traces at Suspected Syrian Former Nuclear Site
International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors found uranium particles linked to nuclear material processing at the site, indicating undeclared nuclear activities during Assad's regime.
- On Tuesday, the UN agency responsible for nuclear oversight reported that its inspection team detected uranium residues at a Syrian location associated with a previous secret nuclear initiative.
- The site, in eastern Deir el-Zour, hosted an undeclared reactor built by North Korea and became known after Israel destroyed it in a 2007 airstrike.
- IAEA inspectors took environmental samples last year at three related locations, revealing anthropogenic uranium particles consistent with uranium ore conversion.
- Director-General Grossi reported these findings Monday and said Syria likely seeks small modular reactors, while noting activities probably related to nuclear weapons and Syrian cooperation under interim President al-Sharaa.
- Although Syria never fully answered IAEA questions and leveled the site, the agency remains ready to assist Syria’s nuclear and medical infrastructure amid prolonged conflict.
