Iran will load fuel into the core of its first nuclear power plant on October 26, a senior MP said, and celebrations will be held to mark what is one of several important steps in the country’s nuclear programme. “The fuel of Bushehr power plant will be loaded to its core tomorrow,” the head of parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi was quoted as saying on October 25. Iran began fuelling the plant in August and officials have said the reactor will begin producing energy in early 2011, a delay of several months following the spread of a global computer virus believed to have affected mainly Iran. Iran says the plant eventually will generate 1,000 megawatts of electricity, about 2.5 per cent of its power needs.
