Iran intends to produce �about 20,000 megawatts of nuclear-generated electricity� over the next few years, according to the Director of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani.
�We will continue in line with our declared goals. The enrichment linked to fuel production will also not change� Abbasi-Divani added during the 3rd�IAEA�International High-Level Conference in St Petersburg, Russia suggesting there will be no change in the Iranian program despite the election of relative moderate new president Hassan Rouhani.

Iran�s uranium enrichment programme has drawn international attention in recent years, as many Western governments oppose Tehran�s nuclear plans.

Abbasi-Davani also said that work at Iran�s underground Fordow plant would also continue, despite the West�s desire for it be closed down.

The Islamic Republic claims that its uranium enrichment program is meant to be used to fuel a network of nuclear power stations as well as for medical purposes.
