Nuclear Technology Day (Iran)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Nuclear Energy Day (Persian: روز ملی فناوری هستهای) is observed on 9 April (Farvardin 20th) in Iran.[1] The observation marks the '9 April 2006' when Iran announced it had successfully domesticated the complete cycle of Uranium enrichment despite the sanctions.[2]
In 2003, Iran opposition groups efforts in Western media towards accusing Iran of building a nuclear weapon made Europe and the United States sensitive. These countries tried to halt the Iranian nuclear activities under various pretexts, but on 9 April 2006, Iran was able to complete the full cycle of nuclear fuel production.[2]
