Russia on Friday as clearly indicate that it was ready to send to Iran uranium fuel for the first atomic power plant, potentially increase the diplomatic crisis surrounding the country's nuclear program Tehran.
Russia's state nuclear fuel producer said UN inspectors' nuclear watchdog is expected to begin before the end to seal the nuclear fuel that about to the shipped to Bushehr plant, a milestone for the supply of fuel to the 'Bushehr plant in Iran.
In a report on Iran issued on Thursday, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it had "taken steps to verify and seal the fuel provided (Bushehr), November 26, before sending the fuel from Russia to Iran. "
Russia has so far given no precise date for the moment to send nuclear fuel to Bushehr, but said he would be sent six months before the plant repeatedly delayed the start-up.
According to the forecasts of Russia officials, the reactor of the plant could be launched in 2008 and the nuclear fuel should be delivered to the plant six months before that. The ambassador of Iran to Russia on Friday said supplies of nuclear fuel for the Islamic Republic was a "matter of principle" and hoped that Moscow send them soon.
"We hope that the promises that we have received from Russian officials on such an important issue ... will be carried out and implemented," Ambassador Gholamreza Ansari said. The diplomat was speaking at a press conference held simultaneously with the announcement by Russia of fuel consumption inspections. In Iran, the officials welcomed this development.
"Russia has officially informed (IAEA) that it is ready for shipment the Bushehr, the fuel is to be to be checked and sealed in Russia on Nov. 26," IRNA quoted Mohammad Saeedi, deputy head of the Organization of Iran 's atomic energy, as saying. "That means, from a technical and legal point of view, the fuel for the nuclear power plant in Bushehr is ready for transfer to Iran," he said. The United States, Israel and the main countries of the European Union suspect Iran is trying to build nuclear bombs. But Russia, a veto-wielding member of the Security Council of the United Nations, says that there is no proof Tehran is seeking to build nuclear weapons. "The offers that we hear about AES Bushehr from our Russian friends are encouraging for us," said Ambassador Ansari in Moscow. "The issue of the construction in Bushehr between the Russian and Iranian companies is a matter of principle," says Ansari. Tehran says a report by the IAEA this week justified his repeated statements that nuclear.
Program is purely civilian and showed that there would be no basis for further discussion on this matter to the Security Council of the United Nations.
The report of the IAEA, issued on Thursday, said Iran has made significant progress towards transparency about its nuclear activities, but had yet to resolve outstanding issues. He also said Iran has expanded uranium enrichment.
