Iran nuclear plant hit by two-month delay
Iran's atomic chief said on Wednesday that the country's first nuclear power plant will be ready to generate electricity by January – two months later than announced.
Ali Akbar Salehi said that the process of placing fuel rods at the Bushehr facility, built by Russia, would be completed by the "middle of" the Iranian month of Aban, around November 7, the state television's website reported. "Two or three months from then, the electricity generated by the plant will be connected to the grid," said Salehi, chief of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation. (AFP)
