Iran's Bushehr I changes to TVS-2M fuel
World Nuclear News ^ | April 25th, 2018

Posted on 04/29/2018 12:42:03 PM PDT by Hamiltonian

The Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran and Nuclear Power Production and Development Company of Iran have signed an additional agreement to the current commercial contract for nuclear fuel supply to the Bushehr I nuclear power plant. According to the new document, Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer JSC TVEL will replace the UTVS fuel assemblies it has supplied to the VVER-1000 reactor with its more advanced TVS-2M fuel design.....

TVEL is the sole supplier of nuclear fuel to Russian nuclear power plants and also supplies 75 reactors in 14 countries, research reactors in eight countries, as well as transport reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. One in every six power reactors in the world runs on TVEL's fuel, it said.....

And, naturally, our intrepid Russian uranium salesmen have connections with the X44 Regime.

From Sara Carter:

In an April 16, 2010, summary brief provided to his former FBI handlers and obtained by this reporter, he stressed his deep concerns about Tenex, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian state nuclear arm Rosatom and its ongoing work to provide Iran with the technology needed for its nuclear reactor program.

At the time, Rosatom was seeking the approval to purchase the Canadian mining company Uranium One.

TENEX continues to supply Iran with fuel through their Russian company TVEL,” stated Campbell in a 2010 brief provided to the FBI. TVEL is a Russian nuclear fuel cycle company headquartered in Moscow. “They (TVEL) continue to assist with construction consult and fabricated assemblies to supply the reactor. Fabricated assemblies require sophisticated engineering and are arranged inside the reactor with the help and consult of TVEL.”

From American Thinker

...To solve both problems the two government gaseous diffusion plants (Oak Ridge, Tennessee and Paducah, Ohio) were privatized....

The US government ultimately reaped $3 billion from the sale to a new firm, the US Enrichment Corporation (USEC) by some reports. Their 1998 IPO set the per-share price at $14.25. But to sweeten the deal for what looked like soon-to-be white elephants, USEC was made principal agent for the commercial sale of Russian down-blended uranium...

USEC went bankrupt in 2012, although it has reorganized itself and emerged a shadow of its former self under the name of Centrus Energy. Its principal business is as a sales agent for TENEX, the Russian enrichment concern

Looks like the President of Centrus Energy was the Deputy Secretary of Energy in 2010:

From 2010: On Tuesday, Deputy Secretary Poneman will co-chair the U.S.-Russia Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Security Working Group Plenary Meeting with Director General of the State Atomic Energy Corporation "Rosatom" Sergei Kiriyenko.

Pretty lousy nuclear “deal” that left these savages with any kind of nuclear power.

Those animals are sitting on a lake of oil. They don’t need nuclear power plants.

Bushehr I is a nuke-maker not SWEPCO.

Vooch is a big fan of the Arabs, China, the EU, Iran and Russia. Israel and the US, not so much.

Look closely on google maps. What’s missing? High tension infrastructure leaving a switching station at this so-called power plant.

Pole shadows will be aligned approximately 1030 from their base, if you look in other neighborhoods.

Wonder if Obama’s Deputy Secretary at DOE (see last part of #1) had a Q clearance.

#12. Re Hillary saying “I did not have financial relations with that company Uranium One”. Well, she sure screwed someone. Now who could that be? Maybe Israel, or Europe, or the United States, or any combination thereof.
