Iran plans to develop research reactors for nuclear power production, Tehran Times reported Sunday. Nuclear Power Production & Development (NPPD) Company of Iran will design, construct and utilize research reactors in line with the goals and missions of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).
The news was announced Saturday in a directive by Iranian Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri to the AEOI chief Ali Akbar Salehi.
In January, the AEOI announced that it had started injecting uranium hexafluoride (UF6) into advanced domestically-manufactured centrifuge machines, known as IR-8, to launch an important phase of the country’s research and development plans.
The AEOI noted that Iran’s research and development plans would continue incessantly in all sectors of peaceful nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment, to supply fuel for research reactors.
