Russia: Iran’s nuclear plant is fully operational
Russia:
Iran’s nuclear plant is fully operational
Iran’s first atomic
power plant, a symbol of what the Islamic Republic says is its peaceful nuclear
ambition, is now operating at full capacity, Russia’s state nuclear corporation
Rosatom said on Friday. The Russian-built 1,000-megawatt reactor near the Gulf
city of Bushehr, was plugged into Iran’s national grid last September, ending
years of delays and suspicions that Moscow was using the project as a diplomatic
lever.
