Earlier in August, AEOI deputy head Behrouz Kamalvandi told reporters that Iran had already allocated money for the Bushehr-2 project.

Bushehr, Iran’s first Russian-built nuclear power plant, began operations in 2011.

The project for Bushehr-2 was presented by Russian nuclear experts in Tehran in September 2014. In November, Iran signed a number of deals with Russia for the construction of two new nuclear reactors at the Bushehr site with an option for an additional six.
