TEHRAN (ISNA)- Director General of Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom Sergey Kirienko said that new units of Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant pass western and the IAEA safety standards.




Speaking in a press conference with Head of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali-Akbar Salehi in the official ceremony of building two new units in Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, he said, �We have an agreement with Iran to build 8 power plant blocks. �We are going to start building two units on Saturday. The project is of highest safety standards after Fukushima accident.�


He said the units pass the IAEA and western safety standards.


�Sample of new units which are going to be built have already been executed. Iran�s share of participation in the project is rising because Iranian experts have already obtained good experiences in the first unit.�


�Our cooperation is not limited to building power plants, we can also work in building stable isotopes and producing fuel for research reactors.�


Next units of the power plant would be good symbols of using peaceful nuclear energy, he said.
