PressTV...

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi says the country has broken new ground in the field of nuclear technology and is now taking preliminary steps toward production of 20-percent modern nuclear fuel.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with the IRIB News Agency on Sunday, Salehi said the new nuclear fuel produced by domestic specialists will be able to keep all kinds of reactors similar to the Tehran Research Reactor running.

“Preliminary steps have been taken to design modern 20-percent fuel and we are on the threshold [of producing it]. This [new] product is different from the previous 20-percent fuel and we can supply fuel to any reactor similar to the Tehran [Research] Reactor,” Salehi said.

Iran's nuclear chief added that the Tehran Research Reactor has been operating on older types of nuclear fuel so far, but the new modern fuel will boost its productivity.

He said Iranian scientists have made such remarkable advances in the field of nuclear technology that instead of reverse engineering, they are now capable of designing new fuel, which is a major achievement for the country.

Salehi further stated that supplying fuel and designing the control room were major steps in building a reactor, adding, “At the present time, designing a reactor has become very possible for our specialists.”

AEOI’s spokesman, Behrouz Kamalvandi, told reporters last June that Iran would soon start re-building the Arak heavy water reactor once a Chinese expert team finished examining the last phase of the re-designing process.

“According to the timetable, we have fortunately made good progress, and the detailed stage has been completed on our part and delivered to the Chinese side, which … will enter the next stage within 2 to 3 months; that is, we'll start the next phase of building and [installing the reactor’s] equipment,” he added. PressTV-‘Iran to start building re-designed Arak reactor soon’ PressTV-‘Iran to start building re-designed Arak reactor soon’ Iran says it will soon start re-building the Arak heavy water reactor once China finishes examining the last phase of the re-designing process.

Kamalvandi said the US withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, which is officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), would not affect the re-designing process of the Iranian reactor.

US President Donald Trump withdrew his country in May 2018 from the landmark Iran nuclear deal, and decided to re-impose unilateral sanctions against Tehran.

Last November, the Trump administration announced the re-imposition of the “toughest” sanctions ever against Iran's banking and energy sectors with the aim of cutting off the country's oil sales and crucial exports.

A first round of American sanctions took effect in August, targeting Iran's access to the US dollar, metals trading, coal, industrial software, and auto sector.

The US administration hoped to get the other parties to the deal with Iran to likewise scrap the deal, but instead, they stressed that not only would they stick to the agreement, but they would also work to sustain it in the face of increased US pressure. Europeans believe that the nuclear deal is an important element of international security.

Aronia... Bicycles, bicycle paths and parks, solar thermal electric plants, aqueducts, gardens, trains and public transportation, these are what the world needs. Not this nuclear junk.

Men-In-Israel-All-Beat-Their-Wives> Shia Crescent... Nukes don't make you safe, they make you a First Target, this is something Israel might learn the hard way. Like a Gun makes you safe if nobody knows you have it (Cops will tell you this) but if everybody knows you h ave it, that's not good. In case of Nuclear War, Iran can watch everybody else Nuke each other.

ZIONIST POWER IN USA16 hours ago The White House National Security Council (NSC) had asked the US Defense Ministry to list available options to strike Iran after a militant attack near the American diplomatic mission in Iraq last year, a new report has revealed. Although the attack in early September did no harm and saw three mortars only hit empty ground in Baghdad’s International Green Zone, John Bolton, President Donald Trump’s hawkish national security adviser and head of the NSC, called several meetings to discuss a “forceful” American response, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. Back then, Bolton and some others in Washington thought that since the attack followed the torching of the Iranian consulate in the Iraqi oil hub of Basra and was claimed by a Shia group, then it must have had something to do with Iran. They were also under the impression that Iran was behind the unrest in Basra, the report added. ........

Observer... Beware of Working with the Chinese. For them, Money is Sweeter than Everything.

[Shia Crescent] Along with every other Nation,!

[bamba] Not true! Saudi Arabia is secretly offering Syria many billions of dollars if they would break off relations with Iran and order Iranian advisors out of the country, but Syria has turned down their money - refused. So what is your point?

8> Observer... They were helpful to North Korea, and NK.has no money.

Yes! And kick out the inspectors! Kick out inspectors out of Iran as soon as possible. Change all records that you gave to nuclear Agency, because your enemies know Everything about your nuclear activiteis now. You have to start to transform Everything so that they do not have this information any more.

20% is good only for nuclear medicine. 95% is needed for a sustained nuclear reaction which is required for a nuclear bomb.
