(RIA Novosti)-A senior Iranian delegation will arrive in Russia next week to discuss nuclear cooperation, Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export monopoly said Friday.
Atomstroiexport, which is building a nuclear power plant in the Islamic Republic, said the working visit would be made from August 22 to 26 and the delegation would include a deputy head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, Mahmud Jannatian, reports Trend.
"The program includes a visit to Unit 3 of the Kalinin nuclear power plant," an Atomstroiexport spokesman said.
The plant is based in the Tver Region in central Russia.
The company is building Unit 1 of the Bushehr nuclear power plant under a contract worth about $1 bln.
The unit was to be launched by the end of this year. But in July it was announced that Atomstroiexport and Iran had agreed a new schedule under which the nuclear plant will be put into operation in the second half of 2007.
