| 2010-08-14 |
| [Al Arabiya Latest] Iran is to launch its first nuclear power reactor next week, the Islamic republic and Russia which helped build the plant said on Friday after years of delays to the highly sensitive project. Guess the EU will be needing that ABM systen after all, huh? The United States said the announcement showed that Tehran no longer needed to pursue its controversial program of uranium enrichment. But they will do it anyway. "We are preparing to transfer the fuel inside the plant next week... Then we will need seven to eight days to transfer it to the reactor (core)," said Iran's atomic energy chief, Ali Akbar Salehi. Funny how they announced that right after the new moon. "On Aug. 21, the fuel will be transferred inside the building in which the engine" of the Bushehr power station in southern Iran is located, he said, quoted by Iran's Fars news agency. |
