The Russian atomic energy agency is in negotiations with its Iranian counterpart on building new nuclear reactors for the Islamic Republic, the agencys head confirmed. Tehran has indicated its intention to call upon foreign expertise in building up its nuclear power industry, and Russia, which has already helped Iran complete its Bushehr plant, is considering its participation, Rosatom chief Sergey Kirienko said on Thursday during a cabinet session. We are working on an offer. Building of new reactor blocks does not raise concern from the international community. It does not relate to the sensitive issues, so it is quite possible, he said. He added that such a deal would require new bilateral agreements between Russia and Iran, and that the agency is working on it together with Russias Foreign Ministry. Irans President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad voiced the possibility of building additional nuclear power facilities in late September. He said Russia is likely to participate, but Iran would welcome offers from any other contractor. Rosatom engineers finished the Bushehr nuclear power plant, whose construction had been started by German company Siemens, but was abandoned after the Iranian revolution. Russian engineers had to adapt their nuclear technology to the demands of the existing construction. By contrast, new reactors would be built from scratch, says Interfax, citing industry sources.
Ping.
The Supreme (AHOLE) from Iran that runs off at the mouth needs to close his mouth and quit with the saber rattling.
Israel, when they feel the need to address a threat will do so without Sabre Rattling. It will just be done!
Now that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knows how Obama and Sarkozy truly feels about him, the decision to act has been made very clear and simple for him.
