TEHRAN: Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) on Saturday said that Iran is one of those countries who can produce nuclear fuel rods and plates.
Ali-Akbar Salehi said Tehran is capable of making its own nuclear fuel plates and rods.
A news agency quoted Salehi as saying “We have built an advanced manufacturing unit in the Isfahan site for the fuel plates.”
“A grand transformation has taken place in the production of (nuclear) plates and rods. With the completion of the unit in Isfahan, we are one of the few countries which can produce fuel rods and fuel plates.”
He said that Western policies towards Iran had actually expedited the country’s nuclear achievements, including the production of nuclear plates and rods.
“This is in fact because of the West’s actions that we came to this point,” he said.
“What we say is based on reality and truth. There is no exaggeration or deception in our work. It is them who do not want to believe that Iran has no intention, but to obtain nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.”
Salehi said that Iran’s inviting foreign envoys to visit the country’s nuclear sites is a good-will gesture to further prove the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities.
Representatives from Russia, China, the European Union, and the Non-Aligned Movement have invited to tour Iran’s nuclear facilities in mid-January.
