Iran’s nuke plant sends 940MW of electricity to national power gridApril 30, 2012 - 16:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran's first nuclear power plant in the Southern port city of Bushehr is generating and sending 940 megawatts of electricity to the national power grid, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Fereidoun Abbasi announced on Monday, April 30. "940MW of nuclear-generated electricity has been sent to the national grid," Abbasi said, adding that the Bushehr nuclear power plant had produced 730MW of electricity since February and Iranian experts succeeded in boosting its capacity to 940MW now. He reiterated that the progress was made after Iranian experts and engineers managed to conduct numerous experimental tests based on the power plants' standards, according to Fars News Agency. In 2011 Iran started using 500MW of nuclear-generated electricity, half the nominal capacity of the Bushehr power plant. Earlier, an Iranian Energy Ministry official had announced that Bushehr power plant would reach its nominal power generation capacity after the operation of the second phase of the plant in early summer.
