MOSCOW, March 13 (RIA Novosti) - Some Russian specialists who came to Iran to build the Bushehr nuclear power plant in the country's south are starting to leave the Islamic Republic, the Russian nuclear power agency said Tuesday.
"We have registered an outflow of specialists from Iran, and some subcontractors are refusing to supply equipment for the NPP," press secretary Sergei Novikov said.
The Russian Nuclear Power Agency said Monday the $1 billion Bushehr facility that Russia is building in southern Iran would not go into service in September as planned and nuclear fuel would not be supplied to the NPP in March because the Iranian side had delayed financing by two months.
Russian company Atomstroyexport, the project's contractor, said earlier it will continue the partial construction of the Bushehr NPP despite financing difficulties.
