| Russia won’t send workers to complete a much-delayed nuclear power plant in Iran as Tehran has failed to keep up to date with its payments, the Atomstroiexport company said Tuesday. “The Iranian side’s lack of payment by contract prevents us from sending the required personnel to complete work on the nuclear station”, Atomstroiexport’s spokesman said as quoted by the ITAR-TASS news agency. Fuel deliveries for the Bushehr nuclear station would also be delayed, the spokesman added. Under a deal agreed last September, Russia was to deliver fuel to Iran in March, the power station was to begin working in September and it was to start producing energy in November. An Iranian delegation is due in Moscow Wednesday to discuss the project’s financing. |
