IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Beijing, April 22, IRNA -- Iran will be transformed into a nuclear fuel-producing country by the end of Fourth Five-Year Development Plan (2005-2010).
Announcing this, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization for planning and international affairs, Mohammad Saeedi told IRNA Wednesday at the end of International Conference on Nuclear Energy in 21st Century that the country has a clear program on nuclear energy and the course it has taken is a scientific, technical and economical one.
"Under a ten-year program, we will try to build a low-capacity power station using domestic expertise and then begin to undertake projects with higher capacities," he said.
Stating that a number of countries wanted to politicize discussions at the event, Saeedi said that they failed and the conference was held in a scientific and logical atmosphere.
Presently, 30 countries have nuclear energy and other 30 are in favor of it, based on an announcement by Mohammed ElBaradei, head of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), he concluded.
