Nuclear Chief in Moscow

Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad Eslami arrived in Moscow on Tuesday to hold talks with Director General of Russia’s Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation, Alexey Likhachev. 
He is set to discuss the latest developments and collaborations between the AEOI and Rosatom, ISNA reported.  
Eslami had earlier met the Russian nuclear head on the sidelines of his trip to Vienna earlier this month to attend the 65th annual meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency. 
The Russian atomic corporation built Iran’s first nuclear power plant, the Bushehr I reactor, which was officially opened on September 12, 2011.
Construction of Bushehr units II and III started on March 14, 2017 and are planned to be completed in 2024 and 2026 respectively. 
Tehran and Moscow signed an intergovernmental agreement in 1992 on cooperation in the sphere of construction of nuclear power plants on the territory of Iran.
In 2014, Rosatom and AEOI signed a protocol to the agreement, according to which the sides will cooperate in construction of eight power generating units.
