TEHRAN, Oct 21 (NNN-IRNA) – Iran’s nuclear industry has been entirely indigenised, a senior official at the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI), said.
“One hundred percent of Iran’s nuclear industry activities has been indigenised and, today, we are self-sufficient in designing and manufacturing various kinds of centrifuges,” Ali Asghar Zare’an, special assistant to the AEOI head, was quoted as saying.
“At one time, others were not willing to give us a single centrifuge, or see a centrifuge spinning, but now, thousands of centrifuges are running at (Iranian) Natanz and Fordow (nuclear) facilities,” Zare’an said.
Iran is now producing the raw material of yellow-cake domestically, and this move has greatly increased “the bargaining power at the international level,” he added.– NNN-IRNA
