Iran Begins Building Second Nuclear Plant — With Russian Help [View all]
by THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Iran began building its second nuclear power plant with Russian help Saturday, the first such project since last year's landmark nuclear deal with world powers, state TV reported.
The project will eventually include two power plants expected to go online in 10 years. Construction on the second plant is set to begin in 2018. The project will cost more than $8.5 billion and produce 1,057 megawatts of electricity.
"Construction of the power plant is a symbol of Iran enjoying the results of the nuclear deal," Senior Vice-President Ishaq Jahangiri said at a ceremony marking the start of the project.
