He added that fuel-related research was used to use small-sized reactors that use radioactive materials called thulium and molten sodium, stating that in the past years only one power station was planned and implemented, which is the Bushehr Power Station, which continuously produces 1020 megawatts of electricity per hour and pumped 59 million kilowatts an hour of electricity in the grid so far.
