Russia to build 2 nuclear reactors in Iran

 Iran and Russia signed an agreement on Tuesday for the construction of two nuclear reactors in the Islamic republic by the Russians, official IRNA news Agency reported.
The contract was signed by Sergei Kiriyenko, head of Russia's Rosatom corporation, and Ali-Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran in Moscow.
The two nuclear reactors will be built in Iran's southern Bushehr province to expand Iran's existing 1,000 megawatt reactor, which was completed by the Russian company and started operation last year.
Iran will sign another contract with Russia for constructing two more reactors in Bushehr province, Salehi said, adding that his country is planning for generating 20,000 megawatt nuclear electricity.
Rosatom corporation said in a statement on Tuesday that the project will be under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency. As with Iran's first nuclear power plant in Bushehr, Russia will supply nuclear fuel for the new reactors and then the used fuel will be returned to Russia.
The deal was sealed as top officials from Iran and the P5+1 group, including Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States plus Germany, resumed a new round of nuclear talks in Muscat of Oman on Tuesday, just two weeks before the Nov. 24 deadline for a comprehensive deal on the controversial nuclear program of Iran.
