Iran has begun pouring concrete for a second nuclear reactor at its Bushehr power plant.
FILE - In this Sept. 10, 2016 file photo, released by official website of the office of the Iranian Senior Vice-President, the head of Russia's federal atomic agency Sergey Kiriyenko breaks ground in a ceremony to begin building Iran's second nuclear power plant, in the southern port city of Bushehr, Iran. On Sunday, Nov.
While that's still nowhere near weapons-grade levels of 90%, nonproliferation experts warn Iran's growing stockpile and increasing enrichment will begin to shave off time from the estimated year Tehran would need to gather enough material for an atomic bomb. Officials say the new reactor, and a third planned to be built, will each add over 1,000 megawatts to Iran's power grid. It is being built with the help of Russia, which helped finally put Bushehr's first reactor online in 2011 after decades of delays."The security of this power plant has been provided by the armed forces and its safety has been endorsed by international institutions," he said.
Meanwhile Sunday, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected claims by the U.S. and Israel over allegations of nuclear material being discovered at an undeclared site outside of Tehran. An IAEA meeting last week appeared to include discussions over what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described in a United Nations speech in 2018 as a"secret atomic warehouse."
