Iran's long-delayed first nuclear power plant has been tested successfully. This was announced by Director of Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Ali Salehi at a press conference with visiting Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko in Tehran. He declared that a 250 bar atmospheric pressure test has been successfully carried out at the Bushehr nuclear plant. But the Russian energy minister refused to say when the nuclear power plant would become operational. He added that both countries have been working on this power plant jointly with a sense of responsibility, and the plant will be fully operational in a short time.
