With so regrettable application for the Iranian party the chapter of the Russian company Sergey Shmatko has acted today. " I promised to specify later terms of construction Bushehr of nuclear station, but I can precisely tell, that before the end of 2008 the station will not be started up ", - it has specified.
Teheran repeatedly did sharp applications to address of Moscow, thus trying to push her to acceleration of deliveries of uranium on the atomic power station. In the middle of October in interview by the Iranian mass-media Putin has declared, that Russia will necessarily complete nuclear station " Bushehr " in Iran, but did not begin to promise exact terms of delivery of fuel for it. " It is very important For us, as so-called elites in Russia and Iran concern to cooperation of two countries, but I think, - it would be even more important to finish with the wide public and ordinary citizens of our countries, that actually occurs under project "Bushehr", - the head of the state has told. It has made it, on his expression, "very shortly". " Pay attention that any other country of the world has not taken to execution this contract ", - Putin has advised. " Moreover, German partners have begun it very much for a long time, several decades ago, and have stopped ", - it has reminded. In opinion of the president, " the fact of that works have been started by one partners and continued by the Russian organizations, has already initially complicated realization of the project not only and not so much from the political point of view, how many with technological ".
" At the first stage the German equipment there has been put, it till now is on object which is obviously out-of-date, this equipment 20-years, and can be 30-years prescription ", - the president has emphasized. " But difficulties not only in it, difficulty in the contract, in legal registration of this transaction ", - Putin is convinced. It has paid attention that " there is one more circumstance which has complicated this work: the Iranian party at construction has signed corresponding agreements not only with Russia, but also with other partners, for example Republic Korea which in general have refused to deliver the equipment within the framework of the signed contracts ". According to Putin, " it has caused additional complications - we had to search for replacement to the that equipment which has not been put ". " Together and some other things, certainly, have resulted all this in the certain shift on time ", - the president has recognized.
The contract on construction of the first power unit of atomic power station " Bushehr " has been signed in Teheran on January, 8, 1995. According to this document Russia has undertaken to put one reactor such as ВВЭР-1000, to prepare the Iranian experts and to put nuclear fuel for a reactor. In December of the last year Russia and Iran have agreed, that in September, 2007 there will be a physical start-up of the atomic power station in Бушере. With the Iranian party the arrangement on monthly financing construction of atomic power station " Bushehr " has been achieved at a rate of $25 one million that guaranteed end of works on a platform and physical start-up of the first power unit in September, 2007. However in financing there were the serious failures demanded intense negotiations of the parties which proceed till now..
