Iran talks with China on the construction of nuclear power plants
The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) , Mohammad Eslami, met with the deputy head of the China Atomic Energy Authority this week on the sidelines of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference in the Austrian capital Vienna and spoke about closer cooperation in the nuclear sector, including the construction of power plants.
Obviously the center of the conversation between Iran and China, which already share protocols on the development of oil production and infrastructure, will certainly have concerned the construction of nuclear structures. China is capable of building even complex nuclear plants, and indeed tries to "market" its products commercially. The problem is that, in this case, the move can only take place in agreement with the USA and with at least the generic approval of Israel. Otherwise the risk is that the plant will end up like the one built in Iraq by France in the early 1980s.
Also on Monday, Eslami met with the Venezuelan representative to help improve relations between the two countries, hit by sanctions imposed by the West, especially in the field of nuclear technology.
In the meeting with Venezuelan Minister of Science and Technology Gabriela Jimenez, the head of the AEOI emphasized cooperation in the field of nuclear medicine, including radiopharmaceuticals.
Earlier in the day, Eslami met with the head of the Russian state nuclear company Rosatom and the Brazilian delegation to promote Iran's atomic cooperation with other countries. Rosatom is building a large nuclear power plant in Egypt, while Brazil operates a plant with American and German reactors.
