“Building specialized nuclear schools across Iran are among the AEOI’s plans,” Salehi was quoted as saying.

“The country’s second nuclear energy school will be constructed in [the Iranian city of] Mashhad and a memorandum of understanding has also been signed among the AEOI, Khorassan Razavi governor general’s office and Khorassan Education Department in this regard,” he added.
