Iran expects to operate its first controlled nuclear fusion facility, developed using its own technology, as planned, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami said.
"We hope that Iran's first tokamak (controlled thermonuclear fusion device -. TASS), which is built on the basis of Iranian expertise, will be scheduled according to a schedule and we will show the world that Iranians deserve better," he said, as quoted on Iranian state television.
According to Aslami, Iran is at the forefront of science, in line with the developed countries, which invest huge sums in the field, with some of them carrying out joint projects. Ali Norouzi, CEO of Irans Advanced Technologies, stated that Iran is among the leading countries in the field of nuclear fusion.
