China ready to build “large” power plants in Iran

News ID: 2900406 -
TEHRAN, Aug. 31 (MNA) – AEOI spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said China is ready to help Iran with the construction of large atomic power plants and even offer financing in this respect. Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi in a radio interview on Sunday touched upon the objectives of the AEOI head Ali Akbar Salehi’s recent visit to China, saying “there are heavy water reactors in China and the two sides discussed it in length. They also held talks on common grounds for the construction of power plants as well as other bilateral issues in this respect.”
The AEOI official noted that Iran has decided to redesign Arak reactor to ease the baseless and unfounded concerns of western counties, adding “of course the reactor will continue to be heavy water but we have accepted to redesign it so that the amount of plutonium is minimized.”
