The organization said more uranium mines were discovered. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council’s Secretary Saeed Jalili said his country rejects any “interference” in its nuclear rights, and will defend its nuclear program just as it will defend all its other rights.
Iran’s announcement about building new nuclear stations is set to raise concerns among the region’s countries and the rest of the world. In Kuwait, Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) expressed its worries and called for caution.
KISR Director General Dr Naji Al-Mutairi said 16 new nuclear stations in Iran will raise the magnitude of risks the region would then be exposed to.
He said a study was carried out by the institute about possible risks from Bu Shehr reactor, adding that when a single reactor constituted such grave danger for the region, what could be the impact of 16 new ones? He said the plans would have a negative affect in the long run and the country would face a possibility of total destruction if a nuclear leak were to take place in the Iranian reactors as the impact would spread because of the wind.
