Electrical ‘incident’ hits Iran’s Natanz nuclear site

No casualties reported at the site that was hit by a large explosion last year.

Tehran, Iran – Parts of the electrical grid at Iran’s main nuclear facilities at Natanz have been compromised after an “incident” early on Sunday. “The reasons behind the incident are being investigated and additional information will be provided later,” spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi told the Fars News Agency, adding that there is no loss of life or environmental pollution as a result. This is the latest incident to hit the site in the Isfahan province, where locally developed centrifuges are reportedly assembled, after it was hit by a large explosion last July.
