Official: Russian Fuel Ready for Iran

TEHRAN, Iran (AP)- Enriched uranium fuel is ready to be shipped from Russia to Iran's first nuclear power plant, state television on Sunday quoted Iran's foreign minister as saying.

The announcement comes after talks in Moscow between minister Manouchehr Mottaki and Russian nuclear chief Sergei Kiriyenko to address delays in completing the $1 billion joint Iranian-Russian Bushehr power plant.

``Nuclear fuel for this power plant, inspected and sealed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, is ready,'' the broadcast quoted Mottaki as saying late on Saturday. ``We do see the trend of cooperation between Iran and Russia moving ahead for the Bushehr power plant.''
