http://news.monstersandcritics.com/energywatch/nuclear/news/article_1232840.php/Russia_to_supply_fuel_to_Iranian_nuclear_power_plant_in_March_2007Moscow - Nuclear fuel destined for Iran's Bushehr power plant has been produced in Russia and will be shipped to the plant's Persian Gulf site in March, the Russian company that is building the plant said Wednesday.
The fuel, which is being held in 'responsible care' at a Siberian chemicals factory, will reach Iran via eight Russian transport planes, the news agency Interfax quoted an unidentified spokesman at Atomstroiexport as saying.
The statement came after Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency head Sergei Kiriyenko met with Iranian leaders in Tehran for talks on the two countries' nuclear cooperation.
The Iranian side had expressed hope the Bushehr plant would be launched on schedule - which, after a number of delays, now means September 2007 - and Kiriyenko said there were no impediments to that at the moment.
