Preparations for launching Bushehr NPP in Iran going according to schedule - Rosatom chief

ST. PETERSBURG. June 20 (Interfax) - Preparations for connecting the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran to the grid are proceeding according to schedule, Rosatom chief Sergei Kiriyenko told journalists on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on Saturday.

"We are through the final phase of the work now, and we are working in the turbine house. We have some allowances regarding the time when we can launch the plant. This is okay, because if even tiniest doubts about security arise at any moment, we stop the work. But we are moving well now, even without these allowances taken into account," Kiriyenko said.
