According to a report released by Iran’s Fars news agency, quoting an “Iranian official” that country’s first nuclear plant, located in the southern city of Bushehr, is scheduled to receive real fuel after the termination of thermal test. According to a plant official, Ali Rousta, after the thermal testing is over, which will be soon, they will be ready for the delivery of fuel.

“The plant will be ready for launch after fuel rods are introduced into the system, enabling it to produce 1,000 megawatts of power; the official told a group of visiting parliamentarians”.

Officials insist the new facility conforms with international standards, and undergoes regular inspections by agents of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), capable of withstanding earthquakes and crashing objects, alluding to its ability to withstand an aerial assault.

Arming the radical nations of the world with advanced weaponry and weapons of mass destruction, this facility too was constructed by the Russians, working since 1994. The project was set for completion about a decade ago but there were numerous delays along the way.
