Iran, already preparing to break the terms on the number of centrifuges in 'Lausanne Agreement'. (Fars).

Iranian and Chinese officials in a meeting in Tehran discussed cooperation in specific areas of the civilian nuclear industries. The meeting was held between Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Behrouz Kamalvandi and high-ranking officials of China's nuclear energy organization in Tehran on Saturday.

During the negotiations held after the two countries set up a special workgroup to compile the needed documents, it was decided that relations and interaction between the two sides continue at different levels in the next few months to make progress in specific nuclear areas and prepare the relevant documents needed.

Kamalvandi had announced earlier this month that Iran and China would partner in the construction of nuclear power plants.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran plans to produce at least 190,000 SWUs (Separative Work Units) of nuclear fuel at the industrial scale, while we also think about 1,000,000 SWUs, which will be needed to fuel 5 power plants like Bushehr (nuclear power plant)*," he said.

"This is the reason why we have inked an agreement with the Russians to construct two nuclear power plants for the generation of electricity while the Chinese will also enter this arena soon," he added.

Also this month, Kamalvandi announced the country's plans to build small nuclear power plants on the rims of the Persian Gulf to desalinate water.

"The AEOI plans to build small power plants in the Southern parts of the country for desalination purposes. Construction of such power plants are on the agenda and will be materialized in the next few years," the spokesman said.

Kamalvandi said that two or three small nuclear power plants could also be built beside each other and form a mid-size power plant.

Kamalvandi announced in December that the AEOI had started building two new nuclear power plants in the Southern province of Bushehr.

"We have entered the executive phase of the construction of these two nuclear power plants based on the contract signed between Tehran and Moscow in March to construct the plants," he said.


*Salehi said. “It is based on the type of centrifuge machine to see how much centrifuge machines equals 190,000 SWU.”

“If the capacity of each centrifuge is three SWU, approximately 60,000 centrifuges are needed,” he said. “If the ability of each centrifuge is 10 SWU, we need 19,000 centrifuges. If the machines of the centrifuge from our latest generation have the ability of 24 SWU, we need less than 10,000 centrifuges.” Hmmm.......How many centrifuges for 1,000,000 SWU? Answer: 333,333 If old centrifuges; 41,666 centrifuges from our latest generation!
