Russian Plant Ready to Send Nuclear Fuel to Iran
Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant said it is ready to send nuclear fuel to Iran “as soon as it is required”.
The plant’s managing director, Vladimir Razin, quoted by ITAR-TASS news agency, said at a press conference on Thursday that “168 fuel rods have been manufactured for the Iranian nuclear power station” in Bushehr.
The fuel “contains no military component, it is for a purely commercial reactor designed to generate electricity,” Razin said. “The spent nuclear fuel is not radioactive waste — it is a raw material component in future reprocessing.” The spent nuclear fuel is to be stored in Krasnoyarsk Territory.
The first part of the Iranian nuclear power station,
which is being built by Russian specialists, will be commissioned in 2006.
The fuel for the reactor is due to be delivered in about six months. The
Novosibirsk plant is Russia’s biggest fuel producer for nuclear power
stations.
