Iran To Build 10 New Nuclear Plants
The government of Iran, in an act of enriching its defense made a surprising announcement of building 10 new uranium nuclear plants in the country. The announcement came through the state broadcaster and is believed to a clear cut act of defiance against the UN, after the UN nuclear overseers strictly criticized Tehran for its secret nuclear work.
It is believed that these 10 new nuclear plants are going to be of as much size as that of the main enrichment plant at Natanz. The broadcaster also mentioned that the work on these plants will commence within a short duration of two months.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran stated that the country should aim to produce a bulky amount of 250-300 tones of nuclear fuel every single year. Adding to this, the semi-official Mehr News Agency also quoted the Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization, Ali Akbar Salehi saying, “Ten new enrichment plants will be built”.
Adding more information to the news, the State Broadcaster IRIB said that the location for five of these plants were already decided and work on them will start within the two months, as decided by the officials. In the same time, the locations for the other five plants will be decided, and work on them as well shall be commenced with.
The creation of these new nuclear enrichment plants will exaggerate the tensions between the other major powers and Islamic republic. The matter is nearly shocking for the other major powers who have been trying to seek a very diplomatic answer to this long disputed matter of the Iran nuclear plant.
The major fear of all the western Supremes is that Iran is perhaps on the way to developing its very own disastrous nuclear bomb. And under this fear, all the major countries supported strongly the UN drafted nuclear deal which was designed specially with the main concern of relieving the worries related to the Iran’s nuclear activities.
However, in an answer to these criticisms of the UN, the government said that Iran is the world’s fifth largest producer and exporter of crude oil, and wishes to only generate electricity through this atomic program. But even details that the Iranian lawmakers forced the government to sketch out a plan to decrease the cooperation of the country with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The MP’s were stated saying, “Because of world powers’ hasty behavior, the government should submit its plan over reducing Iran’s cooperation level with the agency,” in the parliament.
