Iran's homemade nuclear power plant
2008-01-02
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.

#3  The Iranians probably got the plans of the Chernobyl graphite reactor at fire sale prices, and the Russians probably threw in one of their user-friendly control rooms as a bonus.

#1  Oh, so they actually got around to talking about building a facility that, someday, might actually be able to make use of the output of the 50,000 centrifuges?

What more proof does one need that their intentions are entirely peaceful?
