Top Russian Officials to Attend N. Plant Opening Ceremony

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev or Prime Minister Vladimir Putin will accompany Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to celebrate the inauguration of Iran’s first nuclear power plant in the southern port city of Bushehr, Iranian state media reported.

"The Bushehr nuclear plant will soon be officially inaugurated in the presence of Iran's president and either the president or the prime minister of Russia", Iran's official news agency IRNA quoted Mohammad Hossein Jahanbakhsh, provincial governor of Bushehr, as saying on Thursday.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoun Abbassi announced earlier this week that the Bushehr plant would soon be joining the national grid, the state-run news agency FARS reported.
