A UNMOVIC multidisciplinary team conducted by helicopter an air reconnaissance of several sites northwest of Baghdad, along the Tigris River, up to the city of Tikrit. After about two hours, the helicopter returned to the Rasheed Air Base in Baghdad due to bad weather.
One IAEA team inspected flow-forming equipment at several facilities around Baghdad. These facilities were: Al Karama, the Samood Company, Ghraib and Ibn Al Haytham. The team also visited Shakyli Stores at Tuwaitha to inspect materials from Iraq’s past centrifuge programme. A second IAEA team had to break off a helicopter mission and return to the Rasheed Air Base airport due to bad weather. A third IAEA team inspected the Al Eyz Company, 20 km northwest of Baghdad, which produces printed circuit boards and telecommunications equipment. A fourth IAEA team performed a car-borne radiation survey of the ElBasel Company- ElNahrawan, the Sabaa (Seven) Nisan General Company, a residential complex for workers in the oil industry, the Department of Oil Truck Maintenance, and an air defence unit in an area 20km east of Baghdad.
