IAEA provides updates on Iran nuclear facilities
Today, the American Nuclear Society issued a press release joining the International Atomic Energy Agency’s calls for maximum military restraint around nuclear power plants and civilian research reactors.
This press release comes as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East primarily involving Iran, Israel, and the United States continues to rapidly evolve and intensify. As is the case with many armed conflicts, the confirmation of each reported update from multiple—and often contradictory—sources comes with significant difficulties. However, IAEA reporting sheds significant light on the current state of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The Innovative SMR Development Agency is a dedicated government-established entity in Republic of Korea for the development of i-SMR. The standard design of i-SMR will be completed by the end of 2025 and FOAKE plants are planned to construct in the early 2030s. The i-SMR will be an optimized SMR, integrating innovative technology alongside the construction experiences from the APR1400.
