ST. PETERSBURG — Preparations for connecting the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran to the grid are proceeding according to schedule, Rosatom chief Sergei Kiriyenko said Saturday on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
"We are in the final phase of the work now, and we are working in the turbine room. We have some flexibility in the time when we can launch the plant. This is OK, because if even tiniest doubts about security arise at any moment, we stop work. But we are moving well now, even without these allowances being taken into account," Kiriyenko said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
