Iran and Russia will construct two nuclear power plants in Iran, Spokesman of the Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Seyed Hossein Naqavi Hosseini said, Sputnik reports.
Hosseini said on Saturday that Iran needs 20,000MW of electricity, which requires construction of about 10 nuclear power plants, Shana news agency reported.
He noted that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) had prepared plans of construction of the nuclear power plants but it was impossible to build 10 facilities simultaneously – so building two plants in cooperation with Russia is on the agenda.
Hosseini added that Iran should gain technologies to construct nuclear plants.
