TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has launched a second cybersecurity network center at the country's nuclear facilities near the Central city of Arak, a senior advisor to the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said on Sunday.

Asqar Zare'an made the remarks in the Central city of Isfahan, addressing a ceremony to pre-launch a semi-industrial unit to produce the raw materials for the production of stable isotopes.

"We are happy that today we could pre-launch the semi-industrial unit to produce the raw materials for stable isotopes at Isfahan's UCF center," he said.

"Before this, the know-how and capability to produce stable isotopes were monopolized by a few countries, including the US, Russia and Germany," Zare'an added.

Iranian Foreign Ministry's Director General for Political Affairs and International Security Hamid Baeedinejad underlined in June the country's plans to further expand its nuclear industry despite powers' attempts to prevent it.

Iran's nuclear industry will never be shut down nor will it be subjected to restrictions, but it will make further progress day after day, Baeedinejad said.

He added that despite attempts by the world powers, led by the US, Iran's nuclear industry will continue to prosper.

While they sought to shut down Arak heavy water plant, now the US and Russia are main customers of Iran's heavy water, Baeedinejad said.
