The U.S., the European Union (news - web sites) and the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog condemned Iran on June 26, 2004 for deciding to resume a production process that could make purified uranium for an atomic bomb. A satellite image dated May 10, 2004 (TOP IMAGE) shows the Lavizan-Shiyan Technical Research Center in Tehran, The U.S. says the images are strong evidence that Iran has been sanitizing the site to cover up traces of secret nuclear activity related to a weapons program. In the May 10 image(TOP), it is clear that the site has been almost completely scraped clean. Much more asphalt, top soil, vegetation, walkways and a building have been removed since the March 22, 2004 photo (BOTTOM IMAGE). In the August 11, 2003 (CENTER) image, the state of the site before the demolition work began is clearly visible. Photo by Reuters (Handout) REUTERS/Mandatory Credit/GlobalDigital-ISIS

A radiation monitoring device spotted in Iran at a razed site where Washington suspects Iran conducted covert atomic bomb-related research was itself made in the United States and sold directly to Tehran, sources said.

A Western diplomat and an independent nuclear expert who follow the Vienna-based U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency told Reuters the radiation detection device - called a "whole body counter" - was identified as having been made by the Connecticut-based firm Canberra Industries, Inc.

The disclosure could prove embarrassing to Washington which has accused Iran of pursuing a nuclear weapons program and has called on countries to crack down on exports of even seemingly innocent machinery that could be used in weapons programs.

Tehran says it only wants nuclear power for electricity.

"There is no doubt that the whole-body counter came from Canberra Industries and under a legal export," said the nuclear science expert, who has analyzed satellite images of the site taken by the U.S. firm DigitalGlobe's Quickbird satellite.
