Iran has received another shipment of nuclear fuel from Russia for use at its Bushehr nuclear power plant, the Arabic-language al Alam channel quoted an official as saying on Wednesday. "The shipments were transferred to Iran from Russia by plane in three phases on May 4, 8 and 10," spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation Hamid Khadem Ghaemi told al Alam state channel.
He said 30 tonnes of fuel had been received. Russia delivered the first batch of about 80 tonnes of uranium fuel rods to Iran in 2008 on December 17 as part of international efforts to persuade Tehran to halt its uranium enrichment programme.
