Iran has awarded a tender to "enhance nuclear security in Iran" to two European consortia, according to Naser Rastkhah, an engineer and adviser to Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran (AEOI).The tender was worth up to €5m ($5.3m), which will be provided by the European Union, ISNA cited Rastkhah as saying on 30 March. "The allocated budget is 4.8 million euros, but can reach a five million cap," he specified. In July 2015, Iran and six world powers signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), under which Iran agreed to curb its nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of nuclear-related economic and energy sanctions. "The tender adhered to the framework of the JCPOA, and representatives from Iran, the EU, and the European Organisation for Nuclear Research [CERN] were in attendance," he added. Rastkhah said EU laws prevented him from naming the consortiums at this point, but that more details would be released soon.
