Russia won't build Iran's nuclear power plant in 2007 · 2007-04-18 17:35
Russian nuclear contractor Atomstroyexport will not complete the work on Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant by the end of 2007, Igor Ivanov, secretary of Russia's Security Council said.
Ivanov sited cash crunch and technical problems as reasons for the delay.
"It is clear that we have to extend the deadline. How long, we do not know. It is being studied by experts," the Russian official said.
The completion of the power station by Atomstroiexport and the delivery of nuclear fuel by Russia, planned for this year, were delayed by what Moscow had earlier described as financial problems, Mosnews reports.
Russia had accused Iran of not paying the amounts agreed upon in a deal reached last September on the construction and nuclear fuel supply to the plant, but at the end of March, Moscow acknowledged that Tehran had resumed its payments.
Russia had been scheduled to deliver nuclear fuel to Iran in March, the power station would begin working in September and it would start producing energy in November.
