IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Qom, April 12, IRNA -- Deputy Head of Iran Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Mohammad Saeedi said on Sunday that there is no doubt that Iran will be among major constructors of nuclear power plants worldwide within the next ten years.
Speaking in a special ceremony to mark Iran's nuclear success and achievements, he said, "It is among the pride of our system to gain access to such sophisticated and advanced technological know-how under the wise leadership of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, perseverance of the country's officials, IAEO and the new generation of Iranian scientists."
Iran could successfully attain such a remarkable technology within 12 years despite mounting pressures from home and abroad, he said adding that the natural period (cycle) for such technology worldwide is 20 to 22 years.
Some 7,000 centrifuges are now operational in Natanz and the country has successfully accessed technology for producing and enriching uranium, he said.
Iran, through reliance on its scientists and the guidelines of the Supreme Leader, could produce UF6 which is considered as one of the most complicated and sophisticated process in nuclear technology, he said.
