Iranian FM Underlines Bushehr N. Power Plant Safety
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi reiterated on Tuesday that the country's first nuclear power plant in the Southern port city of Bushehr complies with the latest safety rules and standards, and enjoys the latest and best technologies.
"Bushehr nuclear power plant is one of the safest plants in the world, which enjoys the most modern technologies," Salehi said, addressing the 21st meeting of the regional planning council of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) here in Tehran.
He further noted that the Bushehr nuclear power plant is on the threshold of a full launch, and added that the power plant will join the national grid in the next two months.
Earlier, Head of the AEOI Fereidoon Abbasi had also underscored that all Iranian nuclear installations in different parts of the country enjoy the necessary safety standards.
"The important point in any given country's nuclear industry is the high safety level of its installations compared with the other facilities and installations of that country," Abbasi said in March, addressing a festival dubbed 'National Resistance and Civil Defense' in Tehran.
Despite the propaganda campaign launched by the US-led West against the safety of Iran's nuclear facilities, the UN nuclear watchdog agency as the sole specialized world body has repeatedly approved the high quality of Iran's nuclear safety standards.
The Nuclear Safety and Security Department of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had also in a visit to Iran in March 2010 approved the standard safety levels of all Iranian nuclear sites and installations, and lauded the country's measures and special efforts in this regard.
"We realized that Iran's safety system responsible for inspecting Iranian nuclear facilities and installations acts very well and is strong," Head of the IAEA's Nuclear Safety and Security Department Olena Mykolaichuk said at the time.
"I, as the head of the (inspection) team, assure the Iranian society that Iran's installations are safe…," Mykolaichuk added.
She also stressed that her team has visited the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Southern Iran and inspected the safety and security control system at the installations.
