RIA Novosti
MOSCOW, February 28 (RIA Novosti) - Alexander Rumyantsev, the head of the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency, named the sites where more energy units for the nuclear power plant can be built in Iran.
"Bushehr is an appropriate place, it is located in a seismologically safe area. Another 4 or 6 energy units can be built in Bushehr, and 4 or 6 units can be built in the city of Ahafaz where relevant exploration has been done," Mr. Rumyantsev told a press conference at RIA Novosti on Monday.
These make up Iran's current demand for electric power, and it is approaching the world for relevant assistance. "These are the two possible sites for building power plants," said Mr. Rumyantsev.
Mr. Rumyantsev said Russia intended to take part in and win tenders for building nuclear power plants abroad, particularly in China, Slovakia, and Bulgaria.
"We will try to win about 60% of those tenders," he said.
In terms of China, Mr. Rumayntsev said the Agency expected to "win the tender for building the third and fourth energy units."
The first unit has been completed and will be commissioned shortly, while the second unit will be put into operation in late 2005, according to Mr. Rumyantsev.
