Russia Sets Date for Iran to Go Nuclear

[Gerald]

Russia's nuclear agency says that it will load fuel into Iran's first nuclear power plant, the Bushehr Plant (left), next week, defying U.S. calls to hold off the start of the launch until Iran proves that it's not developing nuclear weapons.

At least we have not driven the Iranians out of the NPT like we did North Korea, so IAEA will be on hand. :yeah:

This is potentially very worrying....I wonder what Russia is hoping to gain from this?

It must be something they consider worthwhile to them to run the risk of falling out with the US.

(CNN) -- A top Iranian lawmaker defended his nation's right to enrich uranium in the future after Iran and Russia confirmed that Russians will start loading a nuclear reactor in the Islamic republic with fuel next week, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The August 21 arrival of fuel at the Bushehr facility, which Iran says will create atomic energy but other nations fear could be used for nuclear weapons, marks a key step toward its completion, Russia said.

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran plans to begin construction of 10 uranium enrichment centers across the country by next year, state-run media is quoting Iran's nuclear chief as saying.

After a cabinet meeting Sunday, Ali Akbar Salehi told IRIB, a state network, that work on one of the centers will be started by March 2011.

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russia's top nuclear official Thursday called the pending supply of nuclear fuel to Iran's first atomic energy plant "an event of crucial importance" that proves that "Russia always fulfills its (international) obligations." Sergei Kiriyenko, general director of Rosatom, the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, debriefed Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on the August 21 arrival of fuel at the Bushehr facility, which Iran says will create atomic energy but which other nations fear could be used for nuclear weapons.

With Russian help, Iranian engineers began loading fuel into the country's first nuclear power plant Saturday, marking a milestone in Tehran's development of what it insists is a peaceful nuclear energy program.

A top Iranian official, however, was quoted saying Iran will continue to enrich uranium on the side -- despite a White House warning that Iran does need the enrichment program once the new Bushehr reactor

Now they are in the pipeline ..

[Konovalov]

I don't think the nuclear powerplant is a big deal. Aren't the Russians running the plant for the next 3 years and isn't part of the deal that the Russians get to take home all the nuclear waste so they can recycle and sell again? The problem is Iran's enrichment program and the centrifuges they are building up. This nuclear powerplant is a side issue. It may not even work.

Plus the fact that IAEA will be there monitoring everything at the reactor. I agree, this is small spuds.

[Skybird]

In ten years, so say the treaties, the operation of Busher will be given completely into Iranian hands. And nothing tells us that they will play by the rules and allow the IAEA forever to monitor what is going on. If Saddam threw inspectors out and cut camera wires, the Iranians can do that anytime as well. Not just in ten years, but right now. Who would stop them from doing so?

It is not helpful to trust in bits of papers. Because it is just bits of paper. The trust invested into them is just expression of the deperate hope for a reasonable outcome and that conflict can be avoided. But bits of paper are just bits of paper. And Iran does not hold any reputation of being a trustworthy regime - what point is there in trusting treaties with an untrustworthy regime? If it sees a chance to cheat and betray, it will do - papertreaties yes or no.

the Russians have strong own interests, mainly weapon deliveries for cash. also: Caspian oil reserves are somethingnthat Moscow hopes to secure more effectively if conflict with Teheran can be avoided.

What is reasonable in all this is to trust into the other side acting according to its interests, and getting nuclear weapons at all cost is in iranian interest. that they will try anything possible to realise that option - that is what we can trust into. The IAEA has little to say in that - even more so with such a miserable record of bias and opportunism as it has accumulated under Baradei.

Lesson learned in chess: do not depend your calculations on your opponent making weak moves. Alsways plan on the basis of him making the strongest moves available to him. If you base on assumptions that he would behave stupid, chances are that the match shows that you are playing stupid yourself. And the west, with the endless chain of ultimatus and demands that enver have had any serious conseqeunces that would really hurt Iran, is playing the match very stupid since over ten years now.

All in the name of meaning it well, of course. Who cares for good intentions? I don't. Good intentions are worth nothing. Not what I mean or intent to acchieve, but what I actually reach in effect is what counts.

Right now, Busher is no big problem. But it could become one.

[Jimbuna]

Yeah, I agree....it's the possible implications of what will happen in the future when full control is handed over to the Iranians that is most concerning.

[XabbaRus]

Would it not be easier to build a new reactor to produce the required weapons grade uranium?

Converting a reactor that was built by someone else is not easy.

[Gerald]

and to cover the above, is with this reactor,is also "a way to get the world in one's mind to think only of weapons purposes.

deposits inside the country.TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's nuclear chief says the priority after the September startup of Bushehr nuclear power plant wil be to search for new uranium deposits inside the country.

Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi told the official IRNA news agency Wednesday that only one-third of the country has been explored for uranium deposits.

The head of Iran's atomic energy agency did not explain why Iran was intensifying the exploration at home. Tehran has in the past denied its uranium stockpile was running low, as some international nuclear experts have concluded.

(CNN) -- In defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions, Iran continues its uranium enrichment activities, according to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency released Monday.

At its nuclear facility in Natanz, Iran estimated that between November 23 and August 6, it produced 995 kilograms (2,194 pounds) of low enriched uranium, which can be used as fuel for nuclear reactors or, if enriched further, for nuclear weapons, as many governments fear.

The IAEA says Iran has continued to produce low-enriched uranium, despite fresh UN Security Council sanctions.

The US and its allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons.

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's state TV says authorities have detained an Asian reporter for asking suspicious questions about the country's disputed nuclear program.

The report did not identify the reporter by name or nationality. His two Iranian assistants were also detained.

The report says the journalist asked people in Tehran for their views on whether Iran's nuclear program had a military dimension and on Iran's relations with Russia.

Monday's report said their case was sent to the judiciary.
