UN inspectors visit key Iran site

The Arak heavy water reactor is scheduled for completion in 2009

Inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog have been allowed to visit Iran's heavy water reactor at Arak for the first time since April.

Iranian officials let the inspectors in as part of a deal struck with the International Atomic Energy Agency to discuss outstanding nuclear issues.

Heavy water reactors produce plutonium, which can be used in nuclear weapons as an alternative to enriched uranium.

Iran says its nuclear programme is for civilian purposes, not bomb-making.

Located some 190km (120 miles) south-west of Tehran, the reactor has long been a bone of contention between Iran and the West. BBC
