Russia has completed the shipment of uranium fuel for Iran's first nuclear plant, the Interfax news agency reported Monday. It quoted Irina Yesipova, a spokeswoman for Russia's state Atomstroiexport company in charge of building the nuclear plant in the southern port of Bushehr, as saying that the final shipment of fuel had been delivered. Iran received the first shipment of nuclear fuel from Russia on December 17. Iran has said Bushehr, the country's first nuclear reactor, will begin operating in the summer of 2008, producing half its 1,000-megawatt capacity of electricity.
