Iran Says Building First 'Indigenous' Nuclear Plant

Iranian state television quoted Mohammad Saidi, deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, as saying the plant will have a capacity of 360 megawatts.

He did not say where the plant would be located, but said Iran will join the club of countries that can build nuclear plants in "the next 10 years."

Saidi added that Iran's first nuclear power station, which is being built by Russian experts at Bushehr, will be launched in March, 2008.
