#8 IIRC, the Russians built Bushehr for cash with the MMs after German firm pulled out after the Islamic revolution. There were interruptions sometimes because of *ahem* MM cash and increased cost problems. So if that is true, it is a very possible scenario that the Russians got their money and the MMs could pound sand if the uranian fuel is poisoned. WIKI has a nice history of this goat rope project. |

#7 Whether they come from Moscow or Brighton Beach, Russians will always deep down be Russians. |

#6 As I recall, the fuel rods came straight from Russia. Perhaps Iran got the fuel rods the Russians thought were inadequate for their own reactors. |

#5 I'm thinking contaminants in their uranium. Too many of the wrong isotopes, and Bushehr will produce about as much energy as a half dozen D-cell batteries. And sorting bad isotopes from good isotopes ain't easy. |

#4 Let's see.....bury a la Chernobyl & use the same cement supplier as Amoco? This could work. |

#2 Maybe Obean could send someone over to help them and then they'd like us. Never happen. Iran is a "Right to Work" state. |

#1 I wonder if the Russians have been paid for their work, and if so, if warranty repair has a "nominal" parts and labor fee? |
