Iran will launch its first indigenous nuclear fusion system.
Tehran, Irena. Iran is preparing to operate its first domestically developed nuclear fusion system, with the project highlighting the country's progress in advanced nuclear technology, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) said on Sunday.
In a television interview, Mohammad Aslami said that Iranian scientists had made significant progress in developing the system, and expressed hope that it would operate according to the planned schedule.
According to him, the project aims to demonstrate Iran's scientific capabilities and its ability to compete with leading world powers in advanced technologies.
Ali Nobroozi, head of Iran Advanced Technologies, explained that nuclear fusion involves the joining of two light isotopes under specific and complex physical conditions to trigger a fusion reaction.
According to him, the radiation produced in the process can be used to develop radiopharmaceuticals and advanced medical diagnostic systems.
Nobrozzi added that the long-term goal was to develop a system capable of producing high electrical currents without energy losses within the system, highlighting the wider potential of fusion technology for energy production.
