Iran marked the National Day of Nuclear Technology today on the anniversary of its access to nuclear technology and its success to enrich uranium.
Iran’s Fars news agency said the day marks Iran’s long path to self dependence to complete the nuclear fuel cycle and thousands of centrifuges used to enrich uranium at rates up to 30 per cent.
The nuclear fuel cycle provides Iran with its civilian needs from reactors which produce electricity or for medical research.
Iran is seeking to reassure the West that it does not plan to manufacture a nuclear bomb. The Islamic Republic and the world powers are currently meeting in Vienna in an effort to sign a final comprehensive agreement to ensure the peaceful nature of the Republic’s nuclear programme.
