Published December 13, 2006

MOSCOW, Dec 12: Moscow plans on delivering fuel in March for Iran's first atomic power plant amid heightened international debate over Tehran's nuclear programme, Russian state monopoly Atomstroiexport told Russian news agencies on Tuesday.

“We plan to launch preliminary work in January to deliver fuel in March,”Serguei Chmatko, head of Atomstroiexport, was quoted by the Ria Novosti agency as saying.

Chmatko said the N-fuel would be delivered on schedule to the southern plant of Bushehr, six months before its expected opening in Sept, 2007.—AFP
