Russia Sets Date for Key Iran Nuclear Step By ANDREW E. KRAMER Published: August 13, 2010 MOSCOW — In a move sure to disappoint United States diplomats trying to halt Iran’s nuclear program, the atomic energy agency of Russia said Friday that it would take a crucial step later this month toward starting Iran’s first nuclear power plant. The agency said that technicians would move tons of low-enriched uranium fuel from a storage site into the reactor on Aug. 21, the first of three steps in a months-long process for starting it up. “The event will symbolize that the period of testing is over and the stage of physical start-up has begun,” the Russian atomic energy agency said in a statement. The United States had asked Russia to hold off moves to start the plant until Iran assuaged concerns that it is using its civilian nuclear program to also build a bomb.
