Iran urges Russia to speed up N-plant work

Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Agency, said that during talks in Moscow on Thursday Tehran also complained to Russia about the lack of fuel delivered for the Bushehr plant, Iran's first nuclear reactor.

"During our discussions with the Russians we told them that since 92 percent of the Bushehr plant has already been completed, they can speed up building the equipment and also they can work in three shifts, so the plant could be completed soon," he said.
