Bushehr power plant to halt activities due to fuel changeover
Spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Behrouz
Kamalvandi said the Bushehr nuclear power plant is to halt
activities for few days for fuel changeover, IRNA news agency
reported on January 28.
He said the nuclear power plant located in south of Iran on the
Persian Gulf waters will stop work temporarily for annual services
within days.
He further explained that the fuel changeover operations were due
to take place in mid January but were delayed upon the request of
ministries of oil and energy that wanted to use the gas needed by
the power plant for household consumption because of the cold
season in the country.
Kamalvandi said the fuel changeover procedure, on the average,
takes one month to complete during which one third of the power
plant's fuel is replaced.
