As the first nuclear power station in Iran, Bushehr had been expected to start operation this September.

But the start has been delayed and the project remains under construction due to a dispute between Russian contractors and Iran over the terms of payment.

Russia and Iran reached an agreement earlier this month that paved the way for the delivery of nuclear fuel.
