Official Statement on Radiological Monitoring Following the Natanz Incident

In an official communiqué published on the website of Turkey’s Nuclear Regulation Authority, a comprehensive radiological assessment was issued concerning the recent attack by Israel on Iran’s Natanz Nuclear Facility. The statement underscores the continuous surveillance conducted by the Radiation Monitoring and Warning System Network (RADİSA), which comprises 239 strategically positioned stations across Turkey. These stations actively monitor ambient radiation levels and transmit real-time data to a central command within the Ministry, ensuring prompt detection of any anomalies.

The announcement explicitly affirms, "As of 14/06/2025, there has been no detectable increase in radiation levels within our national territory." Additionally, it references information obtained from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), indicating that, despite the recent missile and air strikes on Iran, no off-site radiation contamination has been observed up to 09:29 Turkish local time on the previous day. The IAEA continues to monitor the situation closely, maintaining active communication channels with regional inspectors and the Iranian Regulatory Authority.

Furthermore, the statement includes a recent update from IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, issued yesterday at 23:50 Turkish time, which states:

• The attack solely impacted the Natanz Nuclear Fuel Enrichment Facility, causing damage exclusively to its above-ground structures.
• Electrical infrastructure within the site has been compromised.
• Radiation measurements outside the premises of the Natanz facility remain unchanged, indicating no radiological hazard to the public or the environment as a result of the incident.

It was emphasized that the IAEA is maintaining a vigilant, 24/7 monitoring regime to oversee the situation and ensure safety standards are upheld.
