Russia to complete Iran nuclear plant in 2009 -Tass
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will complete
Iran's first nuclear power plant in 2009, Itar-Tass news agency quoted
the head of Russia's state nuclear corporation as saying on Thursday.
The launch of the Bushehr plant's nuclear reactor has frequently
been delayed. Russian and Iranian officials have given different dates
for the start-up. Iran's foreign minister said last year the plant
would launch in mid-2008.

Russia has already delivered nuclear fuel under a $1 billion
contract to build the Bushehr plant on the Gulf coast in southwest
Iran. Russia has blamed previous delays on problems with receiving
payment from Iran.
