Iran's homemade nuclear power plant
Energy Minister Parviz Fattah says Iran is constructing its first homemade 360-megawatt nuclear power plant in Khuzestan province. The new nuclear power plant will be built in the Darkhovein region of the nation's southern province, Khuzestan.
That's the part of Iran that is Arab-majority, and Khuzestan plus south and central Iraq would make up a nice 'Shiastan' with lots of oil and some fair hostility to the Medes and Persians.
The Iranian minister said Sunday that the station will be the first nuclear power plant to be completely built by Iranian experts. Iran's Atomic Energy Organization will supervise the project's completion, Fattah added.

According to Iranian officials, nuclear fuel for the plant will be provided by the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. The number of the facility's centrifuges will increase to 50,000 in the near future.
