Tests Show No Nuke Activity at Iran Site
Initial tests of soil samples have revealed no signs of nuclear activities at a site in northern Iran that the United States says Tehran could have used to run secret uranium enrichment programs, diplomats said Tuesday.
However, the diplomats, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, warned that the investigation of the Lavizan Shiyan site was not complete.
"We have still not looked at all results" of environmental sampling, one diplomat said.
The State Department earlier this year said Lavizan had undergone a complete dismantling and razing as part of an attempted nuclear cover-up.
American officials cited commercial satellite photography as showing major dismantling of buildings and said top soil had been removed from the site as part of attempts to hide nuclear experiments meant to make weapons.
