BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 29. Western countries oppose Iran's acquisition of new nuclear technologies, nor want Iran to achieve this, Mohammad Eslami, the country's vice president and chairman of the Atomic Energy Organization, said at the opening ceremony of cold plasma technology-based treatment clinics in Bandar Abbas city, Iran's southern Hormozgan Province, today, Trend reports.
According to him, the direction chosen by Iran in the nuclear sector regards new technologies that are effective for revival, which have no end.
Eslami also said that the 12-day military airstrikes against Iran targeted places that provide services to the population. For example, the plant providing 20 percent of the fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor, the purpose of which is only to produce radioisotopes in Iran, was hit.
The vice president noted that the Tehran Research Reactor produces various types of radioisotopes for 1.5 million people a year.
"The two clinics launched today in Bandar Abbas are the 10th and 11th clinics in Iran to treat wounds using cold plasma technology. Plasma technology has a wide scope and can be used in agriculture, industry, the environment, healthcare, health and treatment," he added.
