MOSCOW, June 8 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian-based federal concern Rosenergoatom and the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran established an ad hoc team to draft training curricula for Iranian power industrial experts, the Kalinin nuclear power plant, in Central Russia, says in a press service statement.

An agreement to set up the team was made while an Iranian delegation led by Assadollah Saburi, Atomic Energy Organization Vice-President, was visiting the Kalinin plant.

The curricula will come as part and parcel of an acting Rosenergoatom contract with the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, says the statement.

Russia is presently building a unit at the Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran-an analogue of the Kalinin plant Unit Three.

Iran's first, the unit, of 1 gigawatt capacity, is scheduled for a start-up, October 2006.

Iran is to possess other nuclear plants, to a total 6 gigawatt, by 2021, say blueprints announced by Tehran on a previous occasion.
