Rosatom-Atomstroyexport, Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant
description
Russia recently announced that it would start up the plant in the late summer, most likely August, prompting outcry from the United States. As of June 2009, the Russian Nuclear Corporation planned to complete construction of the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor. Moscow and Tehran have discussed the possibility of setting up a ten-year nuclear fuel delivery plan, but both sides have focused on finishing the reactor. On 16 November 2009, Russia said that due to "technical considerations", the power plant would not be completed by the end of 2009. Iran hopes to open the plant in September of 2010 and has agreed to form a joint corporation with Russia concerning the operation of the nuclear reactor.
