The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran plans to launch a nuclear radiation system for the first time in the country, an AEOI official announced on Saturday. “A pilot project of this system will come into operation in several provinces soon,” Head of the AEOI’s Laser and Optic Research Center Abbas Majdabadi told FNA on Saturday. He explained that this nuclear radiation system will have many applications in the agricultural sector and in improving the quality and life-time of agricultural products. “This nuclear fusion radiation system has applications in agriculture and can prevent germination of, for instance, onion and potato through the Gama radiation technique,” he said. Majdabadi said due to its numerous agricultural applications and benefits, the home-made radiation system will be used in various Iranian provinces, specially in the Northern Gilan province where a wide range of agricultural products are planted. Last week, the AEOI Chief Ali Akbar Salehi stressed during a meeting with the members of the parliament's Education Commission that the AEOI would continue research in various nuclear fields. “The lawmakers asked questions about nuclear research and development and Mr. Salehi reiterated that no research will be halted” due to the recent agreement between Tehran and the six world powers, member of the parliament’s Education Commission Alireza Salimi told FNA after the commission meeting. According to Salimi, Salehi reiterated that if Iran did not have its current position in science and technology, the enemy would not sit to the negotiating table with it. “Mr. Salehi told the commission members that we could manage the negotiations (with the world powers) still in a better way to find an upper hand,” Salimi said.
