TEHRAN (FNA)- Russians are not at all dubious about completing Iran's first nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr, Iranian Ambassador to Moscow Seyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi said on Tuesday.

Speaking to FNA, Sajjadi underlined the efforts and strong will of both the Russians and the Iranians to speed up the plant's launching process, and said, ""The two sides have mobilized their human resources even beyond the specified plans.""
He pointed out that Russians intend to put Bushehr nuclear plant into operation by the end of 2009, and said there are several tests which should be conducted on the plant before it can go online.
""Previous tests have been successful and there have just remained two more tests to be carried out"" before the plant can start operation, Sajjadi added.
Bushehr power plant started its pre-commissioning stage in the presence of Iranian and Russian nuclear experts in February. Head of Russian Rosatom Nuclear Energy State Corp Sergei Kiriyenko, after touring Iran's first nuclear power plant then, said that it is time to put the plant into operation.
Russia agreed in 1995 to build the plant on the site of an earlier project begun in the 1970s by the German firm, Siemens. Siemens left the project after Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Since then it has neither completed the project nor compensated for the losses it has incurred on Iran by giving up the project.
The inauguration of Bushehr's nuclear reactor has been delayed on several occasions. Russian and Iranian officials have given different dates for the start-up.
