Nuclear achievements toured by Supreme Leader in AEOI exhibition

Tehran, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei paid a visit to an exhibition of Iranian nuclear achievements that was organized by the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) in Tehran on Saturday.

The nuclear achievements visited by the Supreme Leader included:

Tellurium-130” isotope which has been designed and made of a square chain of 20 centrifuges.

This isotope is widely used in the field of medicine manufacturing, especially in the production of raw materials for radiopharmaceuticals and in the diagnosis of various types of cancer and incurable diseases, as well as in other industrial sectors, in geology, agriculture and in nuclear sciences.

Hemostatic powder” is another product of Iranian nuclear scientists in the AEOI. Iran is now one of the 5 countries that have the technical know-how to manufacture this medical product which helps stop bleeding in surgeries.

The construction of power plants on the southern and northern coasts of the country, the construction of small and indigenous power plants, and desalination complexes in Bushehr are among the achievements of nuclear technology in the field of energy and water which were showcased in the exhibition toured by the Supreme Leader on Sunday.

Food and agricultural security is another area in which nuclear technology plays a significant role. Nuclear technology has helped the agricultural sector and food security in three different parts, including plasma, biological sciences and radiation. Fighting agricultural pests and disinfesting grains and food and increasing their shelf life are the most important services offered by Iranian scientists to the country's agricultural sector.

The industrial sector and environmental protection have also benefited from nuclear knowledge. The design and construction of the electrostatic electron accelerator systems for industrial wastewater treatment have brought about a fundamental transformation in Iran's rubber and polymer industries.

Also, nuclear precision instruments such as "radio-metrics" and "industrial springs" have found applications in quality control, material level determination inside tanks, density measurement, humidity measurement, and thickness measurement across different industries.

Plasma technology, presented in AEOI exhibition, has been successfully used in treating pharmaceutical wastewater, hospital waste, landfill leachate, converting heavy oil to light oil, and treating various cancers. It has also shown effectiveness in treating chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers.

Another achievement presented at the exhibition was the production of deuterium compounds through heavy water processing. These compounds have applications in electronics and health.

The exhibition also stressed the indigenization of components and equipment used in mines and in power plants.

Iran's home-grown nuclear knowledge has allowed the country to master the entire nuclear fuel cycle, including exploration, extraction, yellowcake production, uranium processing, enrichment, fuel pellet and rod fabrication, nuclear fuel management inside the reactor core, and reactor waste management.

The exhibition emphasized the significant scientific achievement of applying nuclear knowledge in mining, oil, and petrochemical industries. Using airborne geophysics, Iran can now identify various mines and oil wells up to a depth of 15,000 meters.

The fair also provided a comprehensive overview of Iran's nuclear industry achievements and the valuable contributions it has made in different fields.
