MNA� AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said Iran�s nuclear program has been faring much better since the nuclear deal with 5+1 group of countries went into effect.


Behrouz Kamalvandi, Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) for International, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs, made the remark in a press conference on Tuesday.

He referred to Iran�s joining of the nuclear fusion megaproject known as ITER as one of the opportunities presented to Iran following the signing of the nuclear deal, adding �our participation in ITER is highly significant and will improve our position on the international scene tremendously. ITER will allow the human race to reserve energy for millions of years.�

Kamalvandi stressed that the field of sanctions must be addressed by the Foreign Ministry, but went on to add �the lift of sanctions on our ships, reestablishing connection with the world and the exchange of letters of credit have created a progressive atmosphere for our trade. If we manage our resources correctly, we can join the top ten economies in the world.�

�Within the span of 7 months, we sold 70 tons of heavy water,� he said. �we are set to sell 20 tons annually, and we have a number of potential buyers.�

He went on to add, �even considering nuclear reactors, we are now in possession of some new reactors that are much technically superior to their previous versions.�

Kamalvandi further referred to the many visits made to various countries on expanding nuclear cooperation which led to the signing of a number of good MoUs, saying this positive outcome of the nuclear deal is undeniable.
