Iranian media report (click here) a massive blast at the military site near Tehran, where the nuclear detonators are suspected of having been tested years ago.
State news agency IRNA reported that a fire broke out at an "explosive materials production unit" Sunday night and killed two employees, citing Iran's Defense Industries Organization.
Iranian opposition site Sahamnews described the incident as an explosion near Parchin that shattered windows 9 miles away.
The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has sought access to the Parchin military complex, about 20 miles southeast of Tehran, since it was provided documents that described alleged nuclear detonator tests at the site....
It can't be a small explosion to be felt 9 miles away. I'd like to know what a Geiger Counter reads.
I would think it prudent for the Iranian government to issue evacuation orders to the people in the surroundings area. If there is nuclear material on fire, it may be airborne particles by now.
The facilities is 19 miles southeast of Tehran. Which way is the wind blowing?
