The Iranian government will build an additional several more nuclear reactors after two reactors were previously considered a huge success. With the addition of this reactor, Iran is also going to increase production of uranium for fuel.
This was submitted by the Head of Iran's Atomic Energy Agency (AEIO), Fereydoun Abbasi, quoted from page Press TV, Tuesday, April 12, 2011. He said that the Iranian government plans to build four to five new nuclear reactors.
"Iran plans to build four to five new reactors with a capacity of 10-20 megawatts in several provinces in the next few years. The reactor is intended to produce radio-medicine and for research purposes," said Abbasi. IRAN BUILT NUCLEAR REACTOR BIGGER
Previously, Iran has successfully tested the reactor units two and three country-made in Iran. This is progress for the country's independent nuclear program.
"To fuel this reactor, we will add to the enrichment of uranium to 20 percent," he added.
To meet the needs of this uranium, Abbasi said that Iran would also establish new nuclear enrichment installations.
He said that Iran's nuclear enrichment under the supervision of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which often make a brief surveillance in the installation of add-on Iranian uranium.
Abbasi said he was confident that the IAEA will be able to work together with Iran and do not care about those who lack access to accurate information and correct data, in this case is the United States.
Iran's nuclear progress is seen tilted by some quarters. Former IAEA's nuclear security chief, Olli Heinonen, said if Iran managed to build several more units and add-uranuim reactor, it is no less than a year this country will be able to make weapons nulklir.
"If they can run with both the new machines, and in large quantities, then it will make a big difference," said Heinohen, quoted from the pages of The Washington Post.
