Tehran has decided to launch reactors in different parts of the country and export the produced isotopes to the regional and Islamic countries which are in dire need of the drugs, he said.
On the country's technical achievements in nuclear industry, he said "we have (already) acquired the technical know-how for the production of nuclear fuel for Tehran reactor and at the beginning of next year we will produce the first experimental fuel plate," according to IRIB TV.
Iran says that West has failed to provide Tehran Research Reactor with the nuclear fuel rods it needed; hence Iran attempted to produce the fuel itself.
Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament speaker Ali Larijani criticized the West for their failure to deliver fuel to the Tehran Research Reactor and called on the government for the extension of Iran's uranium enrichment to a base level of 20 percent, Press TV reported on Wednesday.
He also criticized the West for putting together a new round of punitive measure against Iran and described such pressures as " unjustified."
