"Earlier the two projects were scheduled to get into gear in early February, simultaneous with the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, but it was postponed to late February," said Behrouz Kamalvandi, the Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) on Wednesday.
The official made the remark about an agreement reached between Iran and Spain, according to which the Spanish would build two nuclear power plants in Iran, educate the Iranian human resources, simulate emergency occasions and prepare their Iranian counterparts for measures needed to encounter a nuclear catastrophe.
Many foreign nuclear tech-owner states have suggested joint projects with the Islamic Republic of Iran after the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in Mid-January but Spain is the first country because they started negotiating the project earlier before the removal of sanctions, noted Kamalvandi.
He elaborated on the postponing of the projects saying that there were too many projects to be opened and unveiled during the course of celebrations of the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the organization deemed it better to be done a little later with more care and less haste.
