Bushehr nuclear site gets fuel shipment

TEHRAN, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- The Bushehr nuclear facility in Iran has more than half the fuel needed to go online as Russia delivered its fourth fuel shipment.

Iran's nuclear agency said the fourth fuel shipment arrived Sunday at the Bushehr site and expects another 82 tons to arrive in February from eight additional shipments, al Alam satellite television reported Sunday.

Russia says the Bushehr facility is under the scrutiny of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Iran claims the facility will go online at 50 percent capacity by summer.
