Tehran and Moscow are preparing to consolidate agreements that will speed up the construction of small modular reactors, the state representative of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Bahroz Kamlundi, said on air. According to him, Iran intends to increase nuclear production as the global demand for electricity grows. The impetus for this is given by the development of artificial intelligence, digital technologies and the transition to electric transportation. Currently, nuclear power plants around the world produce about 400,000 megawatts, while Iran is responsible for only about 1,000 megawatts, Kamalwandi noted. According to the announced plans, the world's nuclear power capacity is supposed to triple - this will require the construction of about 1,200 stations on a similar scale to the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran. Kamalvandi called small modular reactors a promising technology: they can be manufactured and installed in the quantity required to cover energy needs. "We are also in a good position in the field of small modular reactors," he said, adding that Iran is working to sign a protocol with Russia that will speed up the joint construction of such factories. According to a representative of the Atomic Energy Organization, Iran's nuclear industry has reached full maturity, and the country has begun to independently build nuclear power plants.
