¡¡SEOUL, Oct. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said here Wednesday that he "don't want to jump to a conclusion" on the South Korean nuclear experiments now because the IAEA is still in the process of investigation.

    ElBaradei, who was attending a session of the Pugwash Conference in Seoul, told the press the IAEA will send one or two more inspection teams this months to South Korea, which has received two inspections by the UN nuclear watchdog.

    During his speech, the IAEA director-general also said the South Korean government has fully cooperated with IAEA inspections.     

    The South Korean government admitted last month that scientistsof the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute made two experiments,in 1982 and 2000 respectively, to produce small amounts of plutonium and uranium, the two main types of fissile material usedin nuclear weapons.

    Seoul claimed the two one-off experiments were conducted without the authorization and knowledge of the government and underscored they were for academic purposes only.

    ElBaradei's visit to Seoul came as South Korea is waiting for the IAEA verdict over the two experiments.

    Asked whether South Korea's nuclear experiments would be brought to the UN Security Council, ElBaradei said that was for the IAEA members to decide.

    "I should be able to report to our member states by November onthe investigation and what we have seen (in South Korea)."

    On the sidelines of the Pugwash meeting, which was officially kicked off Tuesday, ElBaradei has met several South Korean officials on the experiments issue. Enditem
