Iran's Red Crescent to Set up Special N. Rescue Teams
TEHRAN (FNA)- An official with Iran's Red Crescent Society announced on Saturday that the IRCS plans to set up two special nuclear rescue teams in two main cities of the country.
"The two special nuclear rescue teams will be formed by the next month and the move will be the first of its kind in the Middle-East and Iran," Head of IRCS Relief and Rescue Organization Mahmoud Mozaffar told FNA.
He reiterated that Iran decided to form the group after the giant earthquake and tsunami in Japan which created an atomic crisis at Fukushima nuclear site and the rescuers were not prepared to confront it.
Mozaffar said that the two Iranian nuclear rescue teams will be formed in the capital city of Tehran and Isfahan city, Central Iran.
After the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Tehran's envoy to the International Centre for Synchrotron-Light for Experimental Science Applications in the Middle-East (SESAME) had underlined that Tehran can help Japan stop radioactive leakage at its Fukushima nuclear power plant.
"Iran has experienced a leap in the nuclear field in the last 8 to 10 years", Seyed Mahmoud Reza Aqa-Miri told FNA in April, stressing that the country has specially taken longer strides in the field of the civilian nuclear technology in the last 6 to 7 years.
"I am pleased to announce that Iran is one of the countries which can help Japan with regard to the damage inflicted on the Fukushima power plant," he added.
Iran's ability to solve the radioactive leakage problem at the Fukushima power plant indicates that its applied capabilities might be superior to Japan due to the home-grown nature of Iran's nuclear program, Aqa-Miri mentioned.
The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex has been spewing radioactivity since the March 11 tsunami carved a path of destruction along Japan's Northeastern coast, killing as many as 25,000 people.
On March 11, 2011 a devastating earthquake of 9 magnitude on the Richter scale hit the prefectures of Fukushima and Miyagi in Japan's largest island of Honshu.
