TEHRAN (IRNA) -- The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency said that its verification work in Iran is making 'good progress' a week after Tehran turned over a dossier on its nuclear activities, said a press release issued by the United Nations Information Center here on Sunday.

Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said over the weekend he would report on the Agency’s findings on Iran to the IAEA’s Board of Governors later in November.

That Board had given Iran until today to comply with requests for information on its nuclear programs. On October 23, Iran sent to ElBaradei a dossier on its nuclear activities. In a statement released from the IAEA’s Vienna headquarters today, ElBaradei said that after receiving the packet, "We immediately started an intensive verification process and are making good progress."

ElBaradei added that the agency’s inspectors 'are currently in Iran visiting sites, interviewing key personnel and taking samples with a view to verifying the accuracy and completeness of this declaration'.
