An accident occurred at an industrial shed under construction in Iran’s Natanz nuclear site on Thursday, but it has left no casualties, Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran [AEOI] Behrouz Kamalvandi said.

Kamalvandi said the accident happened on Thursday morning at one of the industrial sheds under construction on the open-air premises of the Natanz nuclear site.

The accident has not resulted in any human casualties nor has it disrupted the ongoing activities at the site, he added.
