Sajjadi reminded that the visit of Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia State Nuclear Energy Corporation (Rosatom) to Iran, the two sides had specified the end of 2009, and not the end of this summer, as the date for finishing the project.

“Russia has dispatched two times more forces than it has undertaken in a bid to accomplish construction of the plant, and they are making their utmost efforts to do this by the end of this year,” Sajjadi told FNA.

Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia State Nuclear Energy Corporation (Rosatom), after touring Bushehr nuclear power plant, said that it is time to put the plant into operation.

Sajjadi has also pointed to two points as the main issues regarding the plant’s operation, and said, “the first was Russian determination to finish the power plant under any circumstances, and bringing the fuel into Iran was the second issue.”

Sajjadi said, “Right now both issues have been materialized and, as experts believe, the project will be complete with a one or two-month margin of error.”
