– Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami said on Thursday that his country plans to become a hub for designing and constructing nuclear power plants in the near future.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event to launch the production line of a domestically designed, portable gamma radiation device to be used in the agriculture sector, Eslami stated that an ongoing global fuel crisis had made the use of nuclear energy more relevant.
“Today, the world is facing a fuel crisis, and almost all countries, European states in particular, have all turned to constructing nuclear plants. We lag behind by several years in that area,” the official noted.
He added Iran had a 20-year plan related to the use of nuclear energy to produce electricity.
“What is of very high importance to us is to be able to increase the uses of nuclear technology in the country by the day,” the nuclear chief continued.
“With the implementation of that plan, Iran should become a hub for designing and building nuclear plants,” Eslami stressed.
“By God’s grace, in the first year of the (current) government, planning to develop the use of radiation was put on the agenda. The comprehensive development document was studied and designed at the country level and was placed on the agenda. Based on this document, 12 points were identified in the country that can be used in agriculture,” he stressed.
The AEOI head said that there was only one radiation system that was used in a limited part of this area, and added that a truly advanced portable system is now designed.
Back in April, Spokesman of the AEOI Behrouz Kamalvandi said that the country plans to build several other nuclear power plants in different parts of Iran.
He added that the European states have also accepted the fact that building nuclear plants is inevitable.
Kamalvandi underlined the importance of building nuclear power plants, stating it is an essential part of the country’s needs.
The spokesperson also lauded Iran’s achievements in nuclear technology, underscoring that these achievements are divided into four categories of radiation, energy, fuel generation, and research and development
