UN nuclear agency corrects data on Iran's uranium stockpile
VIENNA - The UN atomic agency has corrected data to lower its estimate of the size of Iran's uranium stockpile, a figure watched ahead of this month's deadline for Tehran and six world powers to settle a dispute over Iran's nuclear program.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) now estimates that Iran's holding of low-enriched uranium gas is 8,290 kg, 100 kg less than it had said in a confidential report last week, diplomats said on Thursday.
There was no explanation of why the initial figure was wrong, or the significance of the discrepancy, and there was no immediate IAEA comment.
