Energy Minister Parviz Fattah said here Thursday that Iran would produce nuclear fuel thanks to possession of uranium mines and committed experts.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of a development project here, Fattah added that Iran is among few countries which would draw up plans to produce nuclear energy to supply its energy needs because the gas and mazot fuels would finish.
Based on the 20-Year Development Vision Plan, Iran should generate 20,000MW of electricity at nuclear power plants, he said, adding Iran is currently among unique countries in the region regarding energy use.
The minister stated that fuel of power plants should be changed into combined cycle and added that all gas units will be turned into combined cycle by the end of current Iranian calendar year (March 2008).
