Bushehr, August 12, IRNA -- Head of Bushehr Nuclear Plant workshop Mahmoud Jarari said on Thursday that in the past six months major tests prior to commissioning the nuclear power plant have been successfully conducted.
The tests included 250 bar pressure, 110 bar pressure on the second orbit, test on spherical metal with five load pressure as well as warm test which all were conducted with success, he said.
Jafari explained the activities during his meeting with Busher Governor General Mohammad Hossein Jahanbakhsh.
Jarari also said the phases of inspection began on January 20 during which all systems, equipment and pipes were checked with success.
During his inspection, Bushehr governor general said access to nuclear know-how is a source of pride for the Iranian nation which has been acquired through the nation's resistance.
“We are happy to witness that through endless efforts of the country’s scientists and experts we are on the verge of running Bushehr nuclear power plant,” Jahanbakhsh said.
Nuclear energy is among Iran’s legitimate rights and we hope the power plant would be commissioned in the near future, he said.
