TEHRAN (ISNA) - The Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said the country's ambassador to the IAEA will hold initial talks with the agency's officials to remove ambiguities raised by the organization on Iranian nuclear issue.
Fereydoun Abbasi who is now in Vienna for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 55th General Conference called his talks with the agency's Head Yukiya Amano in Vienna "positive" and said Amano expressed satisfaction over Iran's interaction with the agency.
Abbasi said Monday Iran would run its nuclear Fordo site by next 6 months.
"Centrifuge machines and installations in Fordo site are being completed and it would be launched in 6 months," Abbasi said in a press conference in Vienna Monday.
"First, I should say that Fordo site is located underground to make it difficult for the US and its accomplices to annihilate it. Their failure in damaging our nuclear facilities is due to the fact that the installations are placed underground," he added.
"We are ready to install and transfer centrifuges into Fordo site. We are not in hurry that much since we have stored sufficient 20-percent enriched uranium and we are trying to expand the lifespan of centrifuges."
Abbasi who traveled to Vienna Saturday dawn said on Monday there is no hidden nuclear activity or materials in Iran.
Iranian and Russian officials inaugurated Iran's first nuclear power plant in the southern Persian Gulf port of Bushehr on September 12.
The ceremony was attended by Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and Abbasi, as well as Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko and the Head of Russia's state-run nuclear power corporation Rosatom Sergei Kiriyenko.
