Putin blames ‘worn-out’ equipment for delay in Iran’s nuclear reactor

-

AFP: President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday blamed technical problems and worn-out equipment for the delays in completing Iran’s first nuclear power plant, being built with Russian help. TEHRAN (AFP) — President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday blamed technical problems and worn-out equipment for the delays in completing Iran’s first nuclear power plant, being built with Russian help.

Putin said Russian engineers working on the plant in the southern city of Bushehr were coping with equipment dating back to when the project was started by Germany’s Siemens in the 1970s under the deposed shah.

“The equipment left from that time is worn-out, old and new equipment should be used. This is one of the problems preventing swift completion of the work in Bushehr,” he said in an interview with state news agency IRNA.

“The delay is because of technical and legal issues,” he added.
