Tehran, April 26, IRNA � Iran aims to become an exporter of medical isotopes, Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali-Akbar Salehi said.

In a televised program on Saturday night, he said Iran is exporting medical isotopes to the regional countries and aims to reconstruct its nuclear facilities in order to become a big exporter of medical isotopes.

Stressing continuation of work in Fordo and Arak nuclear facilities, Salehi said the Fordo facility was built in order to guarantee Iran's enrichment process and it was not built for having enrichment at the industrial level.

He underlined that Iran aims to produce isotopes in Fordo and this has been accepted by P5+1, adding that Arak heavy water reactor will remain a research reactor.

Iran aims to build 1,000-megawatt reactors which are smaller than the ones previously announced, the official added.

He said that Iran needs 19,000-megawatt nuclear energy to diversify its energy sources for future needs, based on the pre-Revolution estimates.

Iran's contract with Russia for providing Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant's fuel could be extended for another more decade, the head of AEOI underscored.

Speaking about the controversial American version of fact sheet on nuclear negotiations, he said that the issue was discussed in the latest rounds of talks between Iran and P5+1 in Vienna.

Iranian negotiating team will not give up national interests and will consider the red lines in its talks with the world powers, Salehi added.

He noted that thje sanction issue as well as the legal affairs including the inspection-related issues were discussed in Vienna.

If Iran's Parliament approve the additional protocol, Iran will allow the IAEA inspectors to visit non-nuclear sites under some conditions, head of AEOI said.

Iranian negotiating team headed by Foreign Minister Mohammd Javad Zarif left Tehran for New York early Sunday morning.

In New York, Zarif will attend the NPT Review Conference and on the sidelines of the conference will meet US Secretary of State John Kerry, EU Foreign Policy Chief Federico Mogherini and some counterparts of the Group 5+1.

Last week, nuclear negotiators headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi discussed drafting the text of a comprehensive agreement in Vienna.

The discussions are to be followed in New York.
