Iran: Bushehr reactor operational in 2009
Press TV
Tuesday, Oct 14, 2008
A senior Iranian nuclear official says the nuclear power plant in Bushehr will become operational this year as previously planned.
Deputy Head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEO), Ahmad Fayaz-Bakhsh said Tuesday that Iranian experts have been more actively engaged in the start-up process of the Bushehr nuclear plant over the past 18 months.
In the past decade, Russia has helped Iran build its first nuclear power plant, capable of annually generating some 1,000 megawatts of electricity, in the nation’s southern city of Bushehr.
According to the Russian envoy to Tehran, Alexander Sadovnikov, the construction of the power station has been delayed for about a decade due to the ’sanctions imposed by Western powers’.

Fayyaz-Bakhsh described the Bushehr power plant’s recent development as ’satisfactory’ following the delivery of nuclear fuel from Russia, last year.
Atomstroiexport which is the company working on the Bushehr nuclear plant also trains Iranian specialists and delivers nuclear fuel to the plant’s reactor. The company has so far delivered eight fuel shipments to Bushehr.
The Iranian official’s announcement comes after the head of Atomstroiexport, Leonid Reznikov declared in September that, “Between December 2008 and February 2009, various technical measures will be carried out… that will make the physical start-up process of the first Bushehr reactor irreversible.”
Suffering from electricity shortage, Iran has been forced to adopt a rationing program by scheduling power outages – of up to two hours a day – across both urban and rural areas in the country.

They seem like very nice people. It is good that they will have 1000 megawatts of power for their citizens family needs and production needs.

Yeh that’s right, only America is allowed to use Nuclear weapons of mass distruction on civilians, the others are the “Axis of Evils”. America is the mother Teresa of the modern World. Everyone else is bad. Bad people out there. America good. Repeat that often enough and you will begin to beleive it. Bunch of retards.

Are you people serious? They’ve funded terror, they’ve funded insurgency, they’ve kidnapped Americans, they’ve threatened to whip Israel off the face of this earth. Rouge nations should not have nuclear as an option.
Maybe they can trade us oil for coal that sounds like a good idea.

No offense, but I think it’s getting to the point where every article written needs footnotes to back up their info even if they are always spot-on. It will bring more confidence to readers, like myself who are not well educated.
It’s vital for the public domain to be transparent with their info regardless if it takes a little longer to write and it is very well appreciated!!

maybe if we attack them on acct of this they will launch their 11,000 missiles at Israel and finally stop terrorism.

“Iran: Bushehr reactor operational in 2009″
“A senior Iranian nuclear official says the nuclear power plant in Bushehr will become operational this year as previously planned.”
It’s still 2008!
Maybe the title should have been “Iran: Bushehr reactor operational end of 2008″

Russia helped Iran build their first nuclear power plant? i can not remember what documentry I saw this on, but it said that Iran had nuclear reactors (for weapons) in 1963, but i guess that was the shah, he was probably a nice guy… why else would you give/sell them to him? i was just curious

I’m not sure if this is the only success the Atoms For Peace project ever had. And by law we may still be required to help them!
And hey how about that Dimona project? How many times have international inspectors inspected it?
