TEHRAN, Feb 26 (AFP): A top Iranian official said Saturday that the fuel placed inside the reactor of a Russian-built nuclear power plant in the southern city of Bushehr will be removed. "Based on the recommendation of Russia, which is in charge of completing the Bushehr atomic power plant, the fuel inside the reactor core will be taken out for a while to conduct some experiments and technical work," Iran's envoy to the UN atomic watchdog, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, told the ISNA news agency.
