Iran’s commercial fleet should be powered by nuclear fuel: Majlis committee
TEHRAN, July 3 (MNA) -- The Majlis Industries and Mines Committee has approved a plan which calls for Iranian oceangoing tankers and ships to be powered by nuclear fuel in order to eliminate their need to be refueled while on long voyages, MP Hossein Naqavi-Hosseini said on Tuesday.

Speaking to the Persian service of ISNA, Naqavi-Hosseini, who is the rapporteur of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said that the plan will obligate the administration to supply the ships that carry energy supplies with non-fossil fuels, including nuclear fuel.

The parliament must endorse the plan before it can be implemented.

Earlier, MP Rouhollah Abbaspour, the rapporteur of the Majlis Industries and Mines Committee, had said that in response to the West’s anti-Iranian sanctions, the administration would be obligated to equip some vessels of the country’s shipping fleets with enhanced propulsion systems that would allow them to operate for long periods without needing to be refueled.

MP Mehrdad Bazrpash, who was the initiator of the proposal, told the Mehr News Agency on Tuesday that the implementation of the plan would eliminate the need of Iranian oceangoing ships to moor in ports of foreign countries for refueling.

An informed source told the Tehran Times on Tuesday that Iran may need to produce uranium enriched to a purity level of higher than 20 percent in order to fuel the ships equipped with enhanced propulsion systems.

The deputy commander of the Iranian Navy had previously announced that Iran plans to build nuclear-powered submarines.

In an interview with the Persian service of the Fars News Agency published on June 12, Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini said that the Iranian Navy is planning to design and manufacture nuclear-powered submarines, adding, “We are now in the early stages of the project to build nuclear submarines.”

if iran can build small nuclear engines then why not...imo i would love to see nuclear powered cars and bikes.....one gram of uranium in fuel tank and no need for refueling for next 50 years.

Plz Iran build a "Nuclear cooking stove" too...

One gram of uranium in fuel tank?

sorry, we're not poor like you guys. We have gas and electric stoves which are connected to the national grid. We don't need to improvise. You're welcome to try it.

Oceangoing container ships and oil tankers are much bigger than warships. If warships can be powered with nuclear fuel, so can oceangoing container ships and oil tankers. It shouldn't be too difficult to make a reactor small enough for a 50000-100000 ton oil tanker.

Iranian majlis needs to run IQ tests for its candidates.

first build a tanker then talk about fiting a nuke engine in it...

You obviously have no idea how nuclear reactors work

Honestly i would like the same screening method to the Knesset members, Knesset is full of idiots.

Iran has already built more than 5 or 6 tankers.

there should be some diference between India and Iran.na?

yep that's why we already made so called miniature nuclear reactor... Where iran is still in "should be" stage and that too by mullah majlis you simply can't match India...

we can start enriching uranium over 95 % just next year if we want.but then we will be mor under pressure.
so we have to pass the steps as safe as possible.

Doesnt makes sense.. It is too costly to have a nuclear reactor for commercial fleet, plus to refuel , you will have to cut open the hull every 10 years.

That is why it makes sense to make huge fckin huge tankers with diesel engines which bring down the cost down

Here you go

we're making a 100000 ton oil tanker for Venezuela and it'll be delivered in September.

Here are two 10,000 ton ocean going container ships

We make ocean going container ships, oil tankers etc...

If you want more poo in your mouth, holla. Always ready to embarrass loudmouth Indians.

Any particular reason why you're having a hissy fit and throwing your panties around like a 13 year old girl that's just experienced her first period?

Did our parliament mention India for you to **** in and compare yourself to us? Go away and collect firewood for tonight's dinner.
