VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA – Russia’s state-run nuclear power firm Rusatom is leaving its offer to help Tokyo Electric Power Co. deal with the Fukushima No. 1 reactor meltdowns open despite the rejections it’s been getting so far, the head of a Rusatom unit said.
Rusatom could use its experience with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster to help Tepco resolve the radioactive water crisis at the crippled plant, Rosatom Overseas General Director Djomart Aliyev said in an interview Tuesday.

Asked about doubts concerning the safety of the Bushehr nuclear plant that Rusatom helped Iran construct, Aliyev said the company has extensively tested the facility and sees no problems. But
Iran’s reported plan to use domestically developed nuclear fuel at the plant would be effectively impossible, he added.
Is there something about the way Iran is processing uranium which makes it unsuitable for power reactor fuel rods?
