November 24, 2006 -- The UN's nuclear watchdog agency says Iran has pledged to give international inspectors new access to records and equipment from two nuclear sites.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Muhammad el-Baradei said Iran had agreed to allow inspectors to take environmental samples from equipment at a former military site at Lavizan and to allow the UN access to records from the Natanz uranium-enrichment plant.
The announcement came as the UN nuclear watchdog's governing board on November 23 rejected an Iranian request for help in building a heavy-water reactor at Arak.
