Iran is preparing to sign an agreement with Russia on the joint construction of small modular nuclear reactors.
elchi reports that this was announced on Wednesday by Behrouz Kamalvandi, a representative of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (IAEO).
“We are finalizing a protocol with the Russian side that will allow us to accelerate the construction of these types of reactors,” the IRNA agency quoted him as saying.
Kamalvandi stated that Iran has reached the level of “self-sufficiency” in the creation of nuclear power plants.
On September 24, 2025, Russia and Iran signed a memorandum of mutual understanding on cooperation in the construction of low-power nuclear power plants on Iranian territory. The document outlines concrete steps aimed at the implementation of this strategic project in Iran.
