Zitat:Busher`s first reactor to be launched 2005 - Russian official
Moscow, June 15, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Russia`s Federal Atomic
Energy Agency believes that the International Atomic Energy Agency is
not against the Bushehr nuclear power plant construction project in
Iran.
"The IAEA has no objections to make against Russia building the
Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran," Russian atomic energy agency
spokesman Nikolai Shingaryov said, as the IAEA Board of Governors met
in a session in Vienna.
Shingaryov said in the report by the IAEA Director General
Mohammed El-Baradei not a single word was said about Iran`s Bushehr
nuclear power plant project.
In the report the IAEA raised concerns over how Iran had been
using uranium enrichment equipment and over the scale of this
activity.
"According to IAEA sources, this equipment Iran has purchased from
other countries without notifying the IAEA has proved to bear traces
of highly enriched uranium," Shingaryov said.
Russian Atomic Energy Agency sources said, "Russia has no reasons
for curtailing its cooperation with Iran in completing the
construction of the first Bushehr reactor, scheduled to be launched in
2005.
"Negotiations will be continued on Russia`s participation in the
construction of a s econd Bushehr reactor," Shingaryov said.
IAEA specialists last year inspected all of Iran`s nuclear
facilities, including Bushehr, on more than 600 occasions.
"No convincing evidence that the Iranian nuclear program may have
a military aspect have been found," the Russian Atomic Energy Agency
said.
