This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the information of the communications department of the state corporation "Rosatom". The agreements were reached during a visit to Iran by the deputy head of Rosatom Nikolai Spassky. In addition, the talks discussed the prospects for further development of cooperation in the field of peaceful uses of atomic energy. Earlier, the general director of Rosatom, Sergei Kiriyenko, announced that Russia plans to sign a contract with Iran for the construction of two new Bushehr blocks by the end of the year. According to him, we are talking about the preparation of amendments to the current intergovernmental agreement and a new commercial contract between economic entities. In August 1992, an agreement was signed between the governments of Russia and Iran on the construction of a nuclear power plant, and in January 1995, a contract was signed to complete the construction of the first power unit of the station. The first block of the station was transferred to Iran for guarantee operation in September 2013, the final acceptance and commissioning for commercial operation is scheduled for 2015. Since 2012, Iran has been subject to economic sanctions by the United States and the European Union, which require Tehran to curtail its nuclear program, suspecting that the Islamic Republic intends to develop nuclear weapons. The Iranian authorities, however, have repeatedly stated that developments in the nuclear industry are exclusively peaceful in nature.
