'Iran to become major exporter of nuclear equipment soon'
TEHRAN, Oct.5 (MNA) – The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) director said on Tuesday that Iran will become a leading exporter of nuclear equipment in the near future.
“We have turned pressure and sanctions into opportunities. The country has attained self-sufficiency and, in the near future, we will be a major exporter of nuclear equipment in the world,” Fereydoun Abbasi told a gathering of young intellectuals in Tehran .
Elsewhere in his remarks, he said that the AEOI has planned to construct new indigenized nuclear power plants to meet the target of producing 20,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity by the end of year 2025.
In September, Iran celebrated the initial launch of its first nuclear power plant, which is located near the port city of Bushehr on the coast of the Persian Gulf.
Once the plant becomes fully operational, it will generate 1000 megawatts of electricity, which will account for one-fortieth of the electricity output of the country.
