Russian-built Iran nuclear plant on schedule: official Moscow (AFP) July 27, 2010 The construction of Iran's first nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr is on schedule and preparatory work should be completed by the end of August, a Russian official said Tuesday.

The plant, being built by Russia in a much delayed project, does not fall under the UN sanctions agreed by Russia and other world powers to punish Tehran's defiance in the nuclear crisis.
