TEHRAN – A South Korean UN nuclear inspector was killed and a colleague from Slovenia injured in a car accident in central Iran on Tuesday, the country's Atomic Energy Organization said.
It named the deceased inspector as Seo Ok-seok, a South Korean member of an inspection team that the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) maintains in Iran.
Seo was on a mission with an IAEA colleague near the Khondab complex in the province of Markazi, it added in a statement, without naming the other inspector.
"One of the two experts was injured, while Seo Ok-seok from South Korea died of severe injuries," said the statement, carried by the official IRNA news agency.
It added the car had overturned after veering off the road.
In Seoul, a foreign ministry spokeswoman confirmed the details of the death, adding that an IAEA official from Slovenia and an Iranian driver were hospitalized with injuries.
"The agency is in touch with the inspectors' families, and with the Iranian authorities," the IAEA said in a statement from its Vienna headquarters, giving the same nationalities for the casualties.
Iran is building a heavy water research reactor on the outskirts of the village of Khondab, 116 miles (186 km) west of Tehran.
Iran's disputed nuclear program is under the supervision of the IAEA, which has managed to keep its presence in the country despite disputes with the West over Tehran's atomic work.
The crash on Tuesday came ahead of a meeting between Iran and the UN nuclear watchdog at its headquarters in Vienna on May 13 and 14 aimed at clearing up questions over Tehran's atomic work.
Iran's leaders insist their work is purely peaceful in nature.
