Reverse shot of Fayyazbakhsh speaking\u003cbr/\u003eThe Iranian Foreign Ministry says inspectors from the United Nations nuclear watchdog are preparing a report on the country's nuclear activities at the uranium enrichment plant at Natanz.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Right now, the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are in Natanz and they are preparing a report on our latest nuclear developments and activities,\" Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mohammad Ali Hosseini said in Tehran on Sunday.\u003cbr/\u003eHe said the inspectors were keeping IAEA Chief Mohamed ElBaradei informed.\u003cbr/\u003eTwo more IAEA inspectors arrived in the country on Tuesday, following inspections which took place at Natanz more than a week ago.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Thursday, ElBaradei said Iran is operating only several hundred centrifuges at Natanz, despite its claims to have activated 3,000 of them.\u003cbr/\u003eElBaradei said Iran's nuclear programme was a concern but discounted Tehran's claims of a major advance in uranium enrichment - a key nuclear\u003cbr/\u003eprocess that the United Nations demands Iran suspend or face increasing sanctions. \u003cbr/\u003eIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced on Monday that the Natanz facility had begun \"industrial-scale\" production of nuclear\u003cbr/\u003efuel. \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials on Sunday also announced plans to build two more nuclear power plants, despite international pressures to curb its controversial nuclear programme.\u003cbr/\u003eAhmad Fayyazbakhsh, the deputy head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation in charge of power plants, said the plants would be light-water reactors, each with the capacity to generate up to 1,600 megawatts of electricity.\u003cbr/\u003eEach plant would cost up to 1.7 (b) billion US dollars and take up to 11 years to build, he told reporters during a news conference at his office.\u003cbr/\u003eThe country has been locked in a bitter dispute with Russia over the funding of Iran's first nuclear power plant outside the southern city of Bushehr.\u003cbr/\u003eRussia delayed Bushehr's launch, which had been set for September, and refused to ship uranium fuel for the reactor last month as planned, citing Iran's payment arrears. \u003cbr/\u003eIranian officials denied any payment delays under the one (b) billion US dollar contract and accused Russia of caving in to Western pressure.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's time for Russia to deliver the nuclear fuel to Iran, and if the shipment is delayed it will signal the lack of Russia's commitment to the contract,\" Fayyazbakhsh said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"November 2007 is set for starting the (Bushehr) plant's operation and production of electricity,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eIran is already building a 40-megawatt heavy water reactor in Arak, central Iran, based on domestic technology. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's also preparing to build a 360-megawatt nuclear power plant in Darkhovin, in southwestern Iran.\u003cbr/\u003eFayyazbakhsh said the two new plants would be built near Bushehr. \u003cbr/\u003eHe also said he planned to travel to Russia next week to try to ease tensions and get the Bushehr plant back on track.\u003cbr/\u003eThe bids for the two plants, which will expire in early August, have been published on the nuclear organisation's Web site. \u003cbr/\u003eIran has already negotiated with several foreign companies that have expressed interest in the new project, Fayyazbakhsh said. \u003cbr/\u003eHe declined to name the companies.\u003cbr/\u003eUnder Iranian law, the nuclear organisation has been assigned to provide 20,000 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power plants over the next 20 years.\u003cbr/\u003eThe US and some of its allies accuse Iran of secretly developing nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies.\u003cbr/\u003eIran has insisted it has a right to develop nuclear power and has pushed ahead with the process at a separate facility outside the central town of Natanz.\u003cbr/\u003eThe UN Security Council last month voted to impose new sanctions on Iran as part of a second set of penalties in three months against Tehran over its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment.\u003cbr/\u003eThe enrichment process can produce fuel for nuclear reactors or, if taken to a higher degree, the material for atomic bombs.\u003cbr/\u003eThe latest sanctions included the banning of Iranian arms exports and freezing of assets of 28 people and organisations involved in Iran's nuclear missile programmes.\u003cbr/\u003eIran has rejected the sanctions and announced a partial suspension of cooperation with the IAEA.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
