Inside Bushehr Plant

Iran's nuclear facility

BUSHEHR, Iran (MSNBC) – As we were bused from the airport in the southwestern coastal city of Bushehr toward Iran’s nuclear power plant, the most noticeable feature was the large number of anti-aircraft guns dotted across the landscape to protect the facility from attack. It was a rare occasion – after years of delays, Iranian and Russian engineers carried out a series of critical tests at Iran’s first nuclear power plant Wednesday. The Iranian authorities offered a group of journalists a guided tour of the facility to showcase the event >>>

1 billion dollars in the construction cost. A couple of millions or maybe much more in defense placements around it. And if the enrichment plant in Natanz never reaches 50 000, a whole lot more to import eriched Uranium in the future.

The plant gives 10 000MW of power. Thats alot. Its a solid investment, Iran needs 5-6 more of these.

رفسنجانی: گزارش البرادعی اصلا خوب نبود
ایسنا: رييس مجمع تشخيص مصلحت نظام امروز در نماز جمعه تهران با اشاره به گزارش اخير البرادعي گفت: اين گزارش اصلا خوب نبود. ايشان صحبت از سوال هاي تكراري آمريكايي ها مي كنند. طرح اين ها جزو وظايف آژانس هسته‌يي و البرادعي نيست. صبحت از نيروگاه آب سنگين اراك مي كنند كه اصلا به آنها ربطي ندارد. دشمنان انقلاب حرف هاي نسنجيده‌ي خود را تكر ار مي كنند.

رفسنجاني گفت من از تريبون نماز جمعه كه مطمئنا در آن خطيب حرف خلاف واقع نمي گويد و وعده‌ي خلاف نمي دهد زيرا جاي دو ركعت نماز را مي گيرد اعلام مي كنم كه ما بنا نداريم به سمت هسته‌يي- نظامي پيش برویم. بهانه گيري نكنيد. مذاكره بايد طولاني باشد و فارغ از موضع تهديد، ارعاب و هشدار باشد. اين كار را نكنيد و آرامش منطقه را برهم نزنيد. چرا كه اگر اينجا دعوا باشد، مسائل هماني است كه در عراق و افغانستان ديديم. ان شاء الله تاريخ به مستكبران درس داده باشد و در آينده كمتر اذيت كنند.
