MP Lauds Iran's Genius Scientists for Mastering N. Technology in Short Time

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian lawmaker on Tuesday praised Iran's young scientists for developing a home-grown nuclear know-how in a much shorter time and much faster than the world powers.
"It took 70 years for the world to acquire the nuclear technology, but our young Iranian scientists have managed to institutionalize this science in the country in seven years," Deputy Head of the parliament's Cultural Commission Seyed Ramadan Shojayee said.

He also lauded Iran's eye-catching scientific progress during the last three decades since the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

"Iran has reached such a high degree of science that it is now competing with the great powers which own hi-tech," the lawmaker stated, and stressed that Tehran's high scientific and technological capabilities have even been acknowledged by foreign officials.

Iran has recently made huge achievements in various fields of science and technology, from nuclear knowledge to stem cell and Nano technology.

In January, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) announced that Iranian scientists have managed to synthesize two new types of radiomedicines to treat malignant types of cancer.

Also, Iran in December unveiled five different radiomedicine projects with applications for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a number of diseases.

In September 2010, Iran announced that it plans to synthesize 20 kinds of radiomedicine inside the country.

"Iran has gained the necessary preparedness to produce 20 radiomedicines and we will provide the 20% (enriched nuclear) fuel needed for the production of these medicines this year," AEOI Deputy Head for Planning, International and Parliamentary Affairs Massoud Akhavan-Fard told FNA at the time.

In addition to the Tehran research reactor which has long been used by radioisotope production, Iran also plans to build four other research reactors in the other parts of the country, he added.
