Iran to Inaugurate Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing Plant today

According to Iranian Student's News Agency (INSA) Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to visit the Natanz uranium enrichment facilities to see the progress of the centrifuges and technological developments and then to inaugurate the Fuel Manufacturing Plant (FMP) during his 55th provincial tour in Isfahan today (which is the 4th anniversary of its national day of nuclear technology).

Below is an overhead photo of the Natanz plant site:


Apparently, the FMP is to produce nuclear fuel plates, rods and assemblies for Iran's Arak 40-megawatt research reactor which is to be launched within the next few years.

Below is an overhead photo of the Isfahan complex:


Isfahan's FMP apparently has different production lines for different reactors thus it also has the capacity to shift activities to produce nuclear fuel assemblies for Bushehr (1000 MW Capacity) and Darkhovin (360 MW Capacity).
