Russia Delivered 2nd Consignment of Nuclear Fuel to Iran
Iran has received the second consignment of nuclear fuel from Russia, said Ahmad Fayyazbakhsh, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. The fuel was supplied to Bushehr Nuclear Plant that Russia’s experts construct in Iran under the IAEA control.
The second consignment of nuclear fuel arrived in Iran today, Ahmad Fayyazbakhsh said as quoted by IRNA.
Russia set to supplying the nuclear fuel to Bushehr facility December 16, 2007. The deliveries are made in conformity with Russia’s-Iranian intergovernmental agreement on constructing the plant under IAEA control.
The fuel to Bushehr is being supplied six months before the technological need, as it is in line with Russia’s technological standards and enables Iran to timely provide the information to IAEA. The deliveries are due to end till February 2008.
It is Atomstroiexport that actually constructs the first nuclear plant in Iran. Under the contract of January 1995, Atomstroiexport is to complete the project launched by German Kraftwerk Union A.G. (Siemens/KWU). Atomstroiexport has been working on the site since 1998.
The Bushehr plant won’t be put into operation till the end of 2008, Atomstroiexport President Sergei Shmatko announced December 20, 2007.
