Russian-built Iran nuclear plant to start up this year: official
Moscow (AFP) Jan 21, 2010 A nuclear power plant in Iran being built by Russia will go into service by the end of this year, Russian atomic energy chief Sergei Kiriyenko said Thursday. "All the work is going as scheduled. The tests are a success. This year will be the year of the launch of Bushehr," Kiriyenko was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.

Russia has pressed ahead with the Bushehr project despite Western concerns about Iran's nuclear energy ambitions. Tehran rejects fears that its nuclear programme is cover for a secret atomic weapons project.
