Iran's Bushehr Atomic Power Plant Faces More Delays


TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran on Sunday announced a further substantial delay in the long overdue project to complete its first nuclear power plant, part of a program which Washington says could be used to make atomic arms.

But the delay to the Bushehr reactor in southwestern Iran, now due to come onstream in October 2006, will do little to allay international concerns about Iran's atomic ambitions which focus more on its uranium enrichment efforts.

Bushehr, being built with Russian help despite strong U.S. opposition, has seen its start date pushed back steadily in recent years from an earlier target of 2003. Russian officials had recently said it would start up in 2005.
