Eight More Nuclear Power Reactors Under Study
The agreement was signed by Atomic Energy Organization of Iran chief Ali Akbar Salehi and Russia’s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation head Sergey Kiriyenko.
In a statement released in Moscow today, Rosatom said the two sides are also discussing the construction of additional four power plants on Bushehr site, as well as four similar power units on another and yet undetermined site in Iran.

That would make ten new reactors, matching the public declaration of intent Tehran issued back in 2010 that many observers here in the West met with abject skepticism.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Iranians are indeed serious with their 2010 declaration of intent and that nuclear power generation, not weaponization is their true aim.
This would also validate their determination to produce their own nuclear fuel.
That would make nine not ten.
DeleteLets hope that this time the russians dont play the same stupid games that they did with the construction of bushehr 1 that took twice as long as it should have
