A team of United Nations weapons inspectors is set to visit Iran's recently revealed nuclear facility in the city of Qom.

Their mission is to establish that the unfinished plant will be used for civilian purposes and not for weapons grade uranium enrichment.


The visit comes as Tehran considers an International Atomic Energy Agency proposal to ship its uranium abroad for refinement.
