Eslami referred to the country's path to nuclear industrialization as of the beginning of the Raisi administration in a 20-year perspective, including the plans to complete phases 2 and 3 of the Bushehr nuclear power plant along with the construction of a power plant to generate 10,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity.
He mentioned increasing the precision of the radiopharmaceuticals produced for illness diagnosis, irradiating the food products, including fruits, to prevent their corruption, and establishing nuclear desalination water stations are among the plans in the 20-year perspective.
In the region, Eslami explained, UAE has activated a plant with 5,600 MW capacity, of which 2,800 MW are being prepared. Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are also strongly looking for the development of their nuclear power plants. Turkey is also entering into a contract with Russia to build nuclear power plants.
