25 Jul 2023 - 16:22


Iran is ready to cooperate with Turkey on the export of radiopharmaceuticals and training of nuclear specialists, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said.

"Given our experience in the field of construction and maintenance of nuclear power plants, we are ready to cooperate with Turkey on training nuclear specialists," Mohammad Eslami said in a meeting with Turkish Ambassador to Tehran Hicabi K?rlang?ç on Monday.

He added that the two countries are also expected to resume cooperation on the export of Iranian radiopharmaceuticals to Turkey.

Referring to Turkey's recent joining the club of nuclear power countries, the AEOI chief also offered to share Iran's experience with Turkey on utilizing, maintaining and repairing nuclear power plants.

He further said enemies "caused trouble for the nuclear industry and the Iranian people" over the recent years, adding that "sanctions are a clear example" of the enemies' moves to hinder Iran's nuclear progress.

Back in June, Iran's nuclear chief said the AEOI had recorded 159 achievements in the past Persian calendar year (ending on March 20) in defiance of US sanctions as well as hurdles created by the West.

Eslami noted that the nuclear achievements were made by young Iranian experts in different fields, including irradiation systems, microwave, radiopharmaceuticals, and plasma technology.
