Iran Begins Key Step in Building Second Nuclear Power Plant

Iran started pouring concrete at its second nuclear power plant, a key step in building the facility with Russian help in the southern port of Bushehr, state a report.

 

"Nuclear power provides reliable electricity... and each power plant saves us 11 million barrels of oil or $660 million per year," Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said in a televised ceremony.

 

The United States plans to allow Russian, Chinese and European companies to continue work at Iranian nuclear facilities to make it harder for Iran to develop a nuclear weapon, two sources familiar with the matter said in late October.
