Agreements between Iran and Russia to build several nuclear power plants

According to the foreign policy group of Tasnim news agency, Behrouz Kamalondi, spokesman and deputy for international affairs, legal And the Assembly of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, in a sincere conversation with the media center of the Atomic Energy Organization, at the same time as the arrival of Nowruz 1403, stated: while wishing for the acceptance of the obedience and worship of Muslims in the holy month of Ramadan, I congratulate the arrival of the new year to our dear compatriots and dear colleagues of the nuclear industry. I do.

He clarified: Basically, an important part of our work in the Deputy of International, Legal Affairs and the Assembly of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is related to doing things at the international level with the aim of opening the space for nuclear activities.

He emphasized: nuclear activities are effective in different parts of the society, which can be pointed to the effects of technological achievements on the level of people’s lives as well as on the political and economic issues of the country.

Due to the importance of this industry at different levels, we are witnessing the creation of numerous problems for the country at international levels; He said: Nuclear activities have a very high capacity, and for this reason, in the past years, the enemies have tried to weaken Iran, and for this, they have involved the country in international issues, and they have always sought to create obstacles in the way of the progress of the nuclear industry of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Kamalondi said: This industry has many effects on people’s lives, which can be mentioned in its role in the field of nuclear medicine, so that more than one million patients every year from radiopharmaceuticals that are used by experts and nuclear scientists. Produced in Iran, they use it. Also, with the export of Iranian radiopharmaceuticals and various radioisotopes as heavy water derivatives, a large number of citizens of other countries also benefit from the benefits of the nuclear industry of the Islamic Republic of Iran, so that the actions and output of the activities of the nuclear industry of our country are very important for the health of the people of Iran and the world. It is considered effective.

He pointed out: Perhaps if we did not have these capabilities, we would have problems in providing diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals for Iranian patients. Unfortunately, in recent years, despite claiming that food and medicine are not subject to sanctions, in reality, we have witnessed the effects of sanctions on both areas, and unfortunately, under the influence of these conditions, we were never able to import nuclear materials for the production of radiopharmaceuticals into the country. Therefore, if we did not benefit from the internal capacity in this field, it can be said that the country would have faced many problems in the field of health and treatment of the people. It has become for the country and the nuclear industry because under the influence of these conditions, we tried to stand on our feet and now, in addition to meeting the country’s needs, we have also become exporters of various radiopharmaceuticals. He said: the range of applications of this industry is very wide, and for example, in the field of agriculture, we see the effects of radiation technology in preserving and improving agricultural products and food. In the field of industry, we also see the presence of nuclear technology, so that due to the sanctions, industrial accelerators were not sold to Iran, and with the efforts of domestic experts, we are now able to produce these systems at a lower price than the global rates and with a higher quality; These cases all include the issue of the effects of nuclear technology on people’s lives.

He added: Another part is the issue of the effects of nuclear activities in the political environment, and as the supreme leader of the revolution pointed out; This industry is the country’s reputation and gives authority to the country. He also mentioned that if someone loves Iran and wants a strong Iran in any form and opinion, he should support this industry. In addition to the effects it has on people’s lives, this industry also brings authority and prestige to the country.

Kamalondi said: A country that can have something to say in different areas of this industry is actually a country. It is not normal and for this reason they do not want Iran to have this industry completely and natively. The current political problems are caused by this issue and a part of the work that we are doing in the International Vice-Chancellor; It is to be able to remove the political and legal obstacles created by them.

The spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran stated: An important part of these cases is crystallized in the International Atomic Energy Agency. On average, we see 5-6 quarterly reports presented by the Director General of the Agency on JCPOA and safeguards issues, and we are also faced with various reports, and in addition to that, in the meetings of the Council of Governors and the General Conference of the Agency, we also witness political, legal, media and We are international; Therefore, it is important that our colleagues have sufficient mastery in this field and be able to properly defend the country. In general, we have been successful because once they raised the issue of 4 places and made a fuss about it, but now we are talking about 2 places, and, God willing, these issues will also be resolved. Also, they created new issues for us, such as the observation of 84% enrichment particles or the balance of materials, and with their plan, they created space to put pressure on the country. The way our enemies want it to play on their land and be at their disposal.

The spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran stated: Due to the many efforts and coordination, good answers and explanatory notes have been provided and in Overall, with the fierce defense of the country, we have succeeded in neutralizing an important part of the enemy’s efforts, and in my opinion, God willing, we will be successful in this direction.

The most important priorities of the vice president of international affairs, legal And the parliament in 1403

Kamalondi, referring to the most important work priorities of this deputy in 1403, said: apart from neutralizing the movements of the enemy, the rest of the cases are related to the plans of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran. This organization has plans to expand nuclear power plants because in the country we need an important part of the energy portfolio to be provided through nuclear power because the world is moving in this direction for environmental reasons. The importance of this matter is such that in recent months and at the 28th Cup summit in the UAE, it has been decided to triple the amount of nuclear electricity production in the world. Now there are about 500 nuclear power plants in the world, and according to the decisions of this summit, the number of these plants should be increased to 1500 by 2050, and Iran’s share of this number should be at least 10 to 12 plants.

He added: Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of nuclear power plants in Iran due to the size, needs and economy of the country. According to various cases, we must witness the strengthening of the security of the country’s energy portfolio, and to achieve this goal, creating diversity in the country’s energy portfolio is one of the necessary things.

He explained: Considering the climate issues , having advantages such as manpower, history and experience in the nuclear field, etc., it seems that Iran’s share of the nuclear power plants that are going to be built in the world is at least 15-20 power plants. In the country’s grand plans, the development of nuclear power has been defined and targeted at the rate of 20,000 megawatts. Obviously, in order to achieve this goal, we cannot rely only on internal resources, but we must try to use all internal potentials such as industries, we also need to use financial resources both inside and outside the country and with foreign participation from We should use modern technologies to speed up the process of building nuclear power plants in the country.

Deputy of Iran Atomic Energy Organization stated: The important work of the Deputy of International, Legal Affairs and Assembly of Iran Atomic Energy Organization is to develop its facilities. Mobilize so that we can also use foreign resources and technologies. Countries like Russia and China are our main targets and we have had negotiations with them. We have the necessary legal infrastructure and we will act according to the protocols we have already agreed with them.

He continued: We have agreements with Russia for the construction of several nuclear power plants, one Bushehr power plant has been delivered and 2 power plants are under construction. It is construction. Of course, we are going to build the Karun power plant in Darkhoin completely indigenously, relying on industry, technology and the power of local experts. To provide this important goal of the country. Talks have been held with some countries about financing the construction of the power plant, and progress has been made in the field of financing these projects.

He explained by referring to the role of the Deputy of International Affairs, Legal Affairs and the Parliament in the introduction and export of technological products. : In addition to power plant discussions in other areas such as marketing for nuclear technological products and meeting some needs, we need international communication. Of course, according to the conditions of international communication, it is not possible in a comfortable space because our enemies try to create obstacles for us in this way. In fact, these obstacles cannot prevent us from reaching our goals in front of our motivations and goals. We will definitely reach our goals, but it is natural that we will face some difficulties and we need to continue with patience, tolerance and perseverance.

They should accept, for example, the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran is a powerful country and has been able to stand on its own feet throughout history and thousands of years and is now advancing its goals; Although we are facing problems in this way, the opposite parties also know that they cannot impose their demands on us. It is important that we are determined to achieve our demands, and in my opinion, our colleagues are determined to create this space for the nuclear industry and abroad. International, legal affairs and the Assembly of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran explained in the country: So far, numerous negotiations and discussions have been conducted with domestic institutions and we have reached good results; Without exaggeration, I would like to say that the government has made all its efforts, is determined, and by creating very appropriate mechanisms and forming a working group under the chairmanship of the first vice president, it has sought to solve the problems of the nuclear industry and the development of nuclear power plants, and has taken great measures so far.

Referring to the actions of the legislature in the field of supporting the nuclear industry, Kamalondi said: the Islamic Council has also supported the promotion and development of the nuclear industry, and for the first time, by opening up the space, the price of nuclear electricity Although the current rates are different from the real price of nuclear electricity, the action of the Islamic Council is considered a step in improving this process. With the support of the legislature, it is possible to use domestic and foreign finance; Whereas before, it was not possible to finance in various ways.

Kamalondi continued: The Islamic Council has also helped the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in the field of mining development, which in addition to extracting these materials in radioactive mines. To be able to cooperate with related sectors in the country regarding the extraction of other materials; And the government was given permission for this income so that by going through the legal processes, the income obtained after depositing into the treasury will be spent on the development of the nuclear industry. The spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran noted: These things should be considered as good developments. He said that, of course, we have encountered problems and obstacles along this path, and some people tried to divert some of the resources to other directions, but with the efforts of our colleagues and consultations held with the people’s representatives in the House of the Nation, the resources were completely allocated to help the development of the country’s mines. Kamalvandi said: With such support, we will see the development of the capacity of the nuclear industry, especially the construction of nuclear power plants in the country. He added: the construction of a thousand power plants A megawatt of nuclear power requires an investment of about 5 billion dollars, so when planning to increase 20,000 megawatts of nuclear power generation, it means that 100 billion dollars of investment must be considered, which is not a small amount. This amount of investment is considered a significant amount even for rich countries. It is important that we create sustainable resources, and steps have been taken in this direction, and we are very hopeful for the development of the nuclear industry in the coming years. Nuclear technology provides pride for the country and its achievements are effective in the lives of different people of the country. In addition, the country’s officials and the Supreme Leader at the head of them have always emphasized the need for progress and development of the nuclear industry and have never withheld their support for this important field.

The effect of explanatory measures in The global position of the peaceful nuclear industry

Kamalondi, in response to the question, what effect did the remedial measures taken in 1402 and the application of the “open doors, open innovation” policy have on the position of Iran’s peaceful nuclear industry and technology? has had at the international level; He said: There is an important debate in the world’s nuclear industry, which is known as Public Acceptance. In other words, people should accept to have a power plant in this particular region, people should accept the development of nuclear technology and industry in various branches and sectors. This issue is very important. One of the very good works that was paid special attention to when the Islamic engineer entered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran; This was the issue, and based on this, the policy of “open doors, open innovation” was put at the forefront of doing things in this organization. People should know what services this organization and its related industry provide and what achievements it has. Unfortunately, in the past, only issues such as enrichment, centrifuges, etc. were thought of in the public mind of the nuclear industry, while these matters may only have a one percent role in the nuclear industry. These things are important, but in terms of size, they cannot be compared with other areas that are effective in people’s lives, such as nuclear technology in industry, agriculture, medicine, etc. He stated: Based on the “open doors, open innovation” policy, we tried to give the elites and influential groups, students, students and different classes of people the opportunity to visit the nuclear industry, while we have to observe some considerations due to security restrictions. It changed the scope of the abundance of public opinion about the nuclear industry and this organization. Our presence in the exhibitions held in various universities or the visit of about 270 members of the Islamic Council to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and the exhibition of the achievements of the nuclear industry have had a good effect on the society’s understanding of this industry.

Kamalondi pointed out the many potentials and advantages of the nuclear industry in the economic field and explained: In the field of economic development, a good phrase called “relative economic advantages” “There is a fact that you should know that in the nuclear industry, all relative economic advantages for our country are gathered in it, because the relative advantage of a country is related to the capacities of that country, for example, in the field of nuclear energy, the capacity of educated human resources is widely available in our country and hundreds of billions Dollars have been invested in their education. We are among the top countries in the world in terms of the number of universities and graduates in various fields, and many investments have been made for educated people, which should now be fruitful; That is, you must employ educated human resources in advanced fields and high-level technologies with added value. Kamalvandi continued: One of the industries that has high added value and is considered very important; It is a nuclear industry, so one of the very good policies of the Islamic engineer in the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran is the policy of “open doors, open innovation”, which is considered very important and effective while paying attention to security issues.

In the end, he emphasized: We are an area where there are security concerns, and it is a fact that cannot be denied, and we have been attacked many times, and the enemies are trying to destroy this industry, and they plan to destroy the nuclear industry. take from Iran; This is despite the fact that the nuclear industry is so rooted in Iran that, Alhamdulillah, the intentions of the enemies will never be realized. Of course, the enemies will not stop their efforts, but it is important that we create a balance between security issues and explanatory policies. This is due to appropriate and noteworthy actions; Thank you.
