Ali Akbar Salehi

Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization in Iran announced that his country had no plans of buying nuclear reactors from Bulgaria for the needs of its Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant.
However it is looking into Sofia’s proposal for buying nuclear power plant equipment from Bulgaria, Salehi added.
