AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 05.04.2022

Iran will build a nuclear power plant with a 360 MWe power unit in Khuzestan province on its own.

This was stated by Mohammad Eslami, President of the Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) of Iran, as reported by Mehr.

"We plan to build a 360-megawatt power plant at the Darkhovin site. This project will be completely Iranian, we have included it in the development plan along with the research reactors required for AEOI," Eslami said.

He added that a comprehensive plan for the development of the country's nuclear industry will be published on April 9, 2022.

Let's clarify that the president of AEOI is referring to the IR-360 light-water project, which was previously mentioned in IAEA documents and articles by Iranian specialists.

Victor Murogov
This critical analysis of the history, state, and prospects of development of modern nuclear technologies shows that nuclear energy market has practically monopolized the design and construction of only one type of reactors (95% of NPPs under construction use pressurized water reactors), which necessitates training of focused specialists involved in the construction and operation of those nuclear power plants.
