The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) has reminded enemies that the nation's homegrown civilian nuclear industry cannot be obliterated through bombardment.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the depreciation management laboratory in Tehran on Tuesday, Mohammad Eslami stated that Iran's nuclear industry is completely indigenous and developed through research-based efforts.
Enemies view such an industry as sustainable, which cannot be destroyed with bombardment, he said.
"The nuclear industry is the driving force of advanced science and technology, and is urgently needed in all spheres. No one can take this industry away from the Iranian nation."
The AEOI chief said Iran's atomic agency is pursuing a program-oriented development process.
He stated that among the core requirements of the ambitious plan are the identification of the safety requirements of radiation environments in the fields of design, construction, and maintenance, and their advancement on the basis of precise calculations and in accordance with safety standards.
Eslami said there is a standard and common method of estimating the fatigue of a structure in the process of building nuclear installations, stating that no one has made an accurate measurement of the effects of radiation, and the durability of a structure, product, system, or component under the influence of radiation has not been analyzed up to now.
"Accordingly, this issue was studied using laboratory methods in the depreciation management laboratory," he said.
Eslami emphasized that, besides designing for the life and durability of components, Iranian nuclear scientists must make an accurate and precise diagnosis of tests and then monitor it throughout its operational life to ensure that the designed structure is consistent with the specified life and can be put into service smoothly until the end of the specified time.
"We have now acquired design and engineering capabilities. We possess the technology. We manufacture the necessary equipment and items inside our country," the top Iranian nuclear official said.
On June 13, the Israeli regime launched an unlawful aggression against Iran, leading to the assassination of many senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary citizens.
Iran retaliated in less than 24 hours with a barrage of missiles and drones, and followed it up with a series of retaliatory operations under True Promise III.
The US entered the war on behalf of Israel on June 22, when its bombers hit three Iranian nuclear sites in brazen violation of international law.
In response, Iran launched a missile strike on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military air base in West Asia, in an act of self-defense.
The Israeli regime unilaterally accepted a US-proposed truce deal on June 24.
