Tehran, March 12, SPA -- A Russian delegation comprising officials and experts of Atomstroiexport, the company that is building the Bushehr nuclear powerplant, arrived today in Tehran to settle a dispute over an alleged default in payment by Iran for the plant, reported IRNA. The delegation is to hold talks with officials of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). Atomstroiexport is Russia's national agent and general contractor for the nuclear power plant that is currently in the final stage of construction in southern Iran. The company recently announced that inauguration of the plant could again be delayed as well as supply of nuclear fuel for the plant following Iran's failure to settle its financial account. Based on an agreement reached by the two sides in September 2006, the plant was to be test-operated in September 2007 and the fuel needed by the plant transferred to Iran by end of March.-- SPA www.spa.gov.sa/432021
