Iran Ready To Share Nuclear Science With Other Nations: President

Tehran, Feb 16, IRNA – Iran rejects nuclear monopoly and is ready to share peaceful nuclear knowledge with other nations based on IAEA rules and regulations, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday. The President made the remarks in a ceremony held to celebrate the unveiling of new peaceful nuclear progresses. “Iranian nuclear progresses are at the service of the Iranian nation to the international community; Islamic Republic is committed to continue the way of martyred nuclear scientists; hegemonic powers’ oppressive behavior toward other nations is historical and has not been already stopped in the modern age; arrogant powers have always used science as a tool against humanity and impeded the way of other nations to achieve scientific progress; peaceful nuclear energy is not a danger but the owners of world most dangerous nuclear arsenals introduce it as a danger,” President Ahmadinejad added. He pointed to some reports about equipment of some countries to nuclear bombs in the recent years by the hegemonic powers, adding that nations won’t stand more oppression and discrimination in the international community. Iran’s president asked hostile countries to change their approach toward Iranian nation and noted that Iran is ready to share its peaceful nuclear achievements with other peace-seeking countries based on international rules and regulations. “Iran wishes for a day in which it would be able to provide all its nuclear needs on its soil,” President Ahmadinejad concluded. President Ahmadinejad on Wednesday unveiled the first 20-percent fuel plate for Tehran Research Reactor in Tehran as well as the first home-made nuclear fuel road which were loaded into the heart of the Reactor. President in the ceremony, held in the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, placed the first 20-percent fuel plate into the Reactor.
