Upon their return to Vienna, UN inspectors say they are going to analyze the data they gathered on Iran's Fordo enrichment plant during their four-day visit.
"We had a good trip," Herman Nackaerts, head of the four-member mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) told reporters upon arrival at Vienna airport on Thursday.
"We visited the Fordo enrichment plant. Now we are going to analyze the data. And the DG (Director General Mohamed ElBaradei) will report in due course," he added, without making further comments.
The UN experts traveled to the Iranian capital Tehran on Saturday and inspected the Fordo enrichment plant near the holy city of Qom during their four-day stay.
This was the first visit by an IAEA team to Iran since September when Tehran informed the UN nuclear watchdog that it has a new site under construction.
Iran announced the existence of the Fordo nuclear plant 12 months sooner than the IAEA requirements.
The Fordo site is the country's second nuclear plant, after the Natanz facility in central Iran, which will enrich uranium to the 5 percent level suitable for power plant fuel.
Iran, a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), has stressed that its nuclear program is aimed at the civilian applications of the technology, and has called for the removal of all weapons of mass destruction from around the globe.
