Nuclear Chief: Agreement with Russia Gives Iran Upper Hand in Talks with
Powers

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali
Akbar Salehi stressed that the recent agreement between Tehran and Moscow on
the construction of two new nuclear power plants for Iran would further
strengthen the country's stance in the nuclear talks with the six world
powers.

Salehi said in a televised interview that the recent agreement between Iran
and Russia for construction of two power plants and the protocol to produce
nuclear fuel in Iran "will make our stances stronger in talks with Group 5+1
(the US, Russia, China, Britain and France plus Germany".

Reacting to certain reports by Western media about transfer of Iran's
produced fuel to Russia , he said rumors that Iran agreed to transfer its
fuel to Russia or other countries, or is negotiating on the issue, are not
correct. "There is no reason to send our fuel to Russia," Salehi added.

The top nuclear officials of Iran and Russia in a meeting in Moscow earlier
this month signed an agreement on the construction of two new nuclear power
plants for Iran.

The agreement was signed by Salehi and Head of Russia's Rosatom State Atomic
Energy Corporation Sergey Kiriyenko in the Russian capital.

Upon arrival in the Russian capital, Salehi told reporters that he is also
due to "discuss mechanisms for nuclear fuel swaps" with the Russian side.
