The United Nations observer says that attacking Iran’s nuclear reactors can trigger radiation leaks.
The President of the International Atomic Energy Agency, which addressed an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, warned Iran’s nuclear reactors against attacks on the only commercial nuclear power plant in the Southern City Bushehr.

Orum I want to clarify the Nuclear guard Chief Rafael Grosi, the UN Nuclear Guard Chief: In case of an attack on the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a direct shot will lead to a very high environmental release of radioactivity. ” “This is the nuclear place in Iran where the results can be the most serious.”
Israel did not target Iran’s nuclear reactors, but rather focused on the main uranium enrichment facility in Natanz, the centrifugal workshops near Tehran, the laboratories in Isfahan and the Arak heavy water reactor to the southwest of the country’s capital. Grossi has repeatedly warned that such sites should not be military targets.
Initially, after not reporting a visible damage to the Thursday strikes in Israel’s Arak heavy water reactor, IAEA said that on Friday, the lock buildings in the facility were damaged ”, including the distillation unit.
The reactor was not operational and said it did not contain nuclear materials, so the damage did not pose a risk of contamination.
Although strikes on uranium enrichment facilities such as Natanz can have a risk of radiological contamination, experts say that the chance of a serious incident is much lower than reactors such as Russia’s Bushehr power plant.
