Tehran, July 07: Iran’s first nuclear power plant is set to be launched by late September now that an important final test has been carried out at the reactor, the head of the Islamic state’s Atomic Energy Organization said on Wednesday.
Ali Akbar Salehi’s statement, at the site near the Gulf port city of Bushehr, suggested that a row that erupted between Moscow and Tehran in May over new UN sanctions against Iran had caused no further delays to the project.
