Iran says damage at nuclear site 'significant'A photo released by the nuclear organisation showed a building with a damaged roof, walls apparently blackened by fire and doors hanging off their hinges. TEHRAN: An accident at a nuclear complex in Iran caused significant damage and could slow the production of centrifuges used to enrich uranium, the country's atomic energy spokesman said. The incident happened on Thursday at a warehouse under construction at the Natanz complex in central Iran, but caused no casualties or radioactive pollution, according to the Islamic republic's nuclear body. State TV later showed the building from a different angle with minor damage to its walls. Iran restarted enriching uranium at Natanz last September, despite having agreed under the accord to put such activities there on hold.
