Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant is almost complete, with all the work finished schedule, state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom's Director Sergey Kirienko said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on Saturday.

"We have an agreed schedule, all of the work is in the final stages...We've sent a large group of our specialists to Iran, they are now adjusting the systems," Kirienko said.

Under a bilateral agreement, which has received approval from the International Atomic Energy Agency, Russia will initially operate the plant, supplying its fuel and taking away all the spent fuel for the next two or three years, but will eventually hand over full control to Iran.
