Abbasi: Iran has plans to export radio-medicine to the region
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Aug 29, IRNA -- Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO) Director said on Monday the Islamic Republic of Iran has made planning to export radio-medicine to the regional countries.
He told IRNA that the Iranian government is serious in producing radio-medicine not just for the domestic market but for exporting abroad.
“In an aim to export radio-medicine, we should construct new reactors,” Abbasi said.
“Iran plans to build new reactors within the next few years to produce radio-medicine and carry research studies,” Abbasi Davani said.
He said, “IAEA has responsibility toward us. The agency should let us use the IAEA training workshops.”
“Refusing participation of an IAEA member state in the agency’s training workshops will cost high for them. It is indicating the UN nuclear watchdog is influenced by political pressure,” he said.
Criticizing Japanese government for refusing Iranian experts to participate in IAEA training workshop held in that country this year, Abbasi added Islamic Republic of Iran has the right to take part in such events.
Iran and the IAEA signed a Modality Plan in 2007 to resolve the outstanding issues pertaining to Iranian nuclear program.
Iran undertook to respond to the agency's questions about Iranian nuclear activities and did so in line with the Modality Plan.
Former IAEA director-general Mohamed ElBaradei verified non-diversion of Iranian nuclear program from civilian path in 2009 after Iran provided answers to eight outstanding issues listed in the Modality Plan within specified period.
Abbasi said that the IAEA current administration is expected to consider the process of resolving the outstanding issues in the context of the Modality Plan taken place due course so far.
