North Korea's Kangson site shows signs of production of enriched uranium. Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), spoke about the grounds to suspect the North Korean authorities of uranium enrichment in his report. The text is published on the website of the organization.
He confirmed that signs of relevant work had been identified. Elsewhere, which has been the subject of verification – in particular at the Yongbyon site – there are no similar signs. Grossi pointed out that a number of DPRK's previously closed nuclear facilities are still not operational.
In late February, Grossi reported that the IAEA and Iran had reached a technical understanding about monitoring Iranian nuclear facilities. He said this would help stabilize the shaky situation and organize further political consultations on Iranian nuclear activities.
In August 2020, Iran agreed to grant IAEA observers access to two former nuclear facilities it considers suspicious. Earlier, Tehran did not allow its representatives to visit these two facilities for about six months, and for a year it also refused a meaningful discussion about possible undeclared nuclear materials and nuclear activity.
