TEHRAN (Iran News) – The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) plans to unveil 50 new technological achievements in building new generations of centrifuges and producing heavy water in the early days of the next Iranian year, which starts on March 20, 2020.
The announcement was made by Ali Asqar Zare’an, the assistant head of the AEOI on Saturday.
“50 new achievements will be unveiled on April 9, including new generations of centrifuges system and power plant heavy water,” the Fars news agency quoted Zare’an as saying in a ceremony in Karaj, a city in the west of Tehran.
April 9 is marked as National Nuclear Technology Day in Iran.
He also said that the Arak heavy water reactor will start new activities next year.
Zare’an added that the enemies are angry that Iran has full control over the nuclear fuel cycle.
Last month, Iran started to inject uranium gas into centrifuges at the Fordow nuclear facility under the supervision of inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog.
It was the latest move by Iran to reduce its nuclear commitments in retaliation to the U.S. exit from the 2015 nuclear deal and restoration of previous sanctions and adding new ones, including a ban on Iran’s oil export.
“At the presence of inspectors from International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran started injecting (uranium) gas into centrifuges in Fordow,” the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said.
According to Al Jazeera, a spokesman for the IAEA said the UN nuclear watchdog’s nuclear inspectors at the site “will report back on relevant activities”.
