Tehran: Iranian nuclear officials have announced that Russia will construct eight nuclear power plants in Iran based on an existing bilateral agreement. This announcement was made by Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), during a visit by members of Iran’s parliamentary security and foreign policy committee to the AEOI headquarters in Tehran.
Eslami revealed that four of these new reactors will be built in the southern province of Bushehr. He also provided updates on the ongoing construction of units 2 and 3 at the existing Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, noting that Iranian companies are currently involved in building these units.
Following the visit, Eslami told reporters that Iran plans to triple its nuclear power capacity as part of its broader energy development goals. The Bushehr plant, Iran’s first and so far only operational nuclear power facility, was completed by Russia in May 2011 and has been a central part of Iran’s civilian nuclear energy efforts, involving cooperation with Russia’s state nuclear corporation, Rosatom.
