Iran chose April 9 as the National Day of Nuclear Technology in September 2006. In such a day Iranian scientists managed to complete nuclear fuel cycle and include Iran in the list of few countries with complete nuclear fuel chain, ISNA reports.
The oficial governmental source claimes that the achievement came despite international political and economic pressures and military threats from the US and its allies against Iran and the UN Security Council's resolutions on Iran over recent years.
Russia on Friday resumed loading fuel into Iran Bushehr nuclear power plant.
The Atomstroyexport agency which oversaw the Bushehr plant's construction said in a statement that the refueling operation began after the plant had been re-checked.
The West accuses Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, Iran denies the allegation and insists that its peaceful enrichment activity only aims at peaceful purposes including power generation and medical needs.
However, unlike previous years, the Islamic state did not announce any new controversial atomic achievements, M&C reports.
