Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant Goes Into Operation

First for Iran

Bushehr, Iran’s first nuclear power plant started its operation on Sunday and has begun to provide electricity to the national grid. The $1 billion, 1,000-megawatt plant will be formally inaugurated on 12 September. The plant will reach 40-percent capacity by then.

The Bushehr startup comes after many years of delay. Its construction began by Germany’s Siemens during the Shah’s government but was stopped after the Islamic revolution of 1979. The project restarted in early 1990s by Russian engineers, but faced many delays. Russia will supply the enriched uranium for Bushehr and repatriate spent fuel.

"every effort by the westerners and Jews failed"

Don't forget it was Akhoond Khomeini and his band of merry mullahs that canceled the Bushehr nuclear reactor straight after the coup d'etat of 1979 that put the theocracy in power.
And guess what it was the West that help build the nuclear reactor in the first place but the ignorant and backward Akhoonds said Iran didn't need nuclear power
just like the steel industry they said the Imperial governments plan was to grandiose at 25 million tons per year now look China step in and producers 200 million tons per year!
Now I keep telling you lot to open your eyes and ears but to no avail.
