Iran makes new nuclear achievement
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Aug 10, IRNA -- Center for Plasma Physics announced that it has managed to implement a research project on fusion without harmful waste.
Head of the center, Mahmoud Quran-Nevis said here on Tuesday that the center has succeeded in undertaking a research project as a way for accessing a source of clean energy.
He further noted that nuclear plants can serve as a good replacement for oil but since fusion plants have radioactive wastes and are harmful.
Fusion can be used as a suitable way for producing energy in future, he added.
Describing the expenses for fusion projects as unaffordable and beyond the ability of a country, Quran-Nevis added even the US itself has not been able to acquire the technology.
“We have undertaken a joint project titled ‘ITER’ in France along with other advanced countries,” he said, hoping that practical steps will be taken in line with producing energy through fusion.
Stating that Iran has signed a contract with the International Atomic Energy Agency, he said that Iran is the only country in the Middle East that has undertaken a fusion project under supervision of the UN nuclear watchdog.
The countries involved in the fusion project are the US, Australia and China, he said.
Quran-Nevis also said that tens of articles by the center have been published in the credited ISI publications.
