He also added the country is against providing atomic reactors for developing countries which lack scientific and nuclear research capability. Earlier, Head of the AEOI Fereidoon Abbasi had also underscored that all Iranian nuclear installations in different parts of the country enjoy the necessary safety standards, FNA reported.
