Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates all occupy coastline across from Bushehr, and the plant is closer to five Arab Gulf capitals than it is to Tehran.</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p>Kuwaiti emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah said at a December meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council that Iran should cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency to "ensure the safety of the region's states and its people from any effect of radioactivity".</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p>Iran has repeatedly maintained there are no grounds for concern, a position backed up by Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom, whose subsidiary Atomstroyexport built the plant and plans its formal handover to Iran this year.</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p>But a few recent incidents, as well as a lack of transparency, continue to worry both neighbors and experts in global nuclear safety, particularly after the disaster at the Fukushima power plant in Japan, which was caused by an earthquake and tsunami.</p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p>Like Japan, Iran is on an earthquake fault line, although the risk of a tsunami in the Gulf is seen as slim.</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p>"It is difficult to have confidence that Bushehr will meet the very high safety standards that should apply to every nuclear power plant in the world in the post-Fukushima era," Edwin Lyman, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, said in an e-mail to Reuters.</p><span id="midArticle_12"></span><p>NO CONVENTION</p><span id="midArticle_13"></span><p>Iran is the only country operating a nuclear power plant that does not belong to the 75-nation Convention on Nuclear Safety, negotiated after the 1986 nuclear disaster in Chernobyl which contaminated wide areas and forced about 160,000 Ukrainians from their homes.</p><span id="midArticle_14"></span><p>Inspectors from the IAEA, the U.N. nuclear watchdog, visit the Bushehr plant occasionally to check the nuclear material kept there, but not to conduct safety inspections. The U.N. agency has wider powers when it comes to preventing the spread of nuclear arms than it has to ensure reactor safety in member states.</p><span id="midArticle_15"></span><p>Western officials and the United Nations have urged Iran to join the safety forum, designed to boost safety through peer review and mutual oversight.</p><span id="midArticle_0"></span><p>There are some indications of progress.</p><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p>Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, wrote in a letter to the New York Times on January 15 that Iran has "started the internal legal procedures to accede to the Convention on Nuclear Safety".</p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p>In another step that could help allay concerns, Iran has officially requested the IAEA to send an international expert mission to review operational safety at Bushehr, according to a schedule posted on the UN agency's website. Such missions are voluntary for IAEA member states.</p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p>One problem is that Iran's nuclear regulatory authority, INRA, is not considered independent by the IAEA because it is contained within the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran, Iran's nuclear agency, Lyman said.</p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p>"Given the overheated political context of Iran's nuclear facilities, the lack of a regulator independent of the agency for development and promotion of nuclear energy raises questions about its effectiveness," he said.</p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p>The United States and some other Western countries believe Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons and have imposed harsh financial and trade sanctions to try to stop it. Iran denies that is its intent.</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p>But Bushehr is not considered a major weapons proliferation risk by Western states, who are focused on sites where Iran has enriched uranium beyond levels needed to fuel power plants.</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p>An IAEA mission conducted a review of safety regulations at Bushehr in 2010 and recommended that Iran establish INRA as an independent authority, hire more expert technical staff and replace its current ad hoc regulations with a comprehensive national system.</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p>LONG DELAYS</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p>The 1,000-megawatt Bushehr plant, which was connected to the national grid only in September 2011, has had a long and chequered history.</p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p>Germany's Siemens started construction in 1975 during the reign of the U.S.-backed Shah, but work stopped after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and it was damaged by air raids in the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s.</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p>After Russian engineers took over the project in the 1990s, the launch was further delayed by disagreements between Tehran and Moscow as well as technical problems. For example in February 2011, concerns that metal particles from the aging parts used in the reactor core may have contaminated the fuel prompted the fuel's removal.</p><span id="midArticle_12"></span><p>In October 2012, fuel had to be unloaded again and the plant shut down. A Russian nuclear industry source told Reuters in November the shutdown was due to the discovery of stray bolts beneath the fuel cells. Experts said such debris can cause problems by damaging fuel rods, blocking coolant channels and causing overheating, or clogging pipes and pumps.</p><span id="midArticle_13"></span><p>The plant is now back to 100 percent capacity, Iran said in January.</p><span id="midArticle_14"></span><p>Iran, as well as officials of Rosatom and its subsidiaries, have repeatedly said the delays at Bushehr were in part due to the need to ensure safety.</p><span id="midArticle_15"></span><p>"We have always taken every step to ensure safety and are prepared to continue to work with the operator to do everything that is necessary to ensure safety," Rosatom spokesman Sergei Novikov told Reuters.</p><span id="midArticle_0"></span><p>IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said in December the procedure was not of particular concern.</p><span id="midArticle_1"></span><p>"They are taking necessary measures," he said on a visit to Washington. "Removing the fuel is already a measure to remedy the situation, and we have good communication on this issue."</p><span id="midArticle_2"></span><p>INFORMATION BLACKOUT</p><span id="midArticle_3"></span><p>Malcolm Grimston, a nuclear energy expert at Imperial College, London, agreed the Bushehr plant should not be a safety concern as long as proper inspections have been carried out.</p><span id="midArticle_4"></span><p>But it was important that for any new plant, authorities "put quite a lot of effort into building communication links with local people and letting them understand the context in which the plant operates," he told Reuters.</p><span id="midArticle_5"></span><p>The nuclear programme is highly politicized in Iran and few officials publicly question its validity.</p><span id="midArticle_6"></span><p>When emergency official Gholamreza Masoumi spoke to the Mehr news agency in November about health problems among people near Isfahan's Uranium Conversion Facility and the importance of preparing agencies for a nuclear accident, his comments were taken down from the agency's website and denied by other officials.</p><span id="midArticle_7"></span><p>"It's not totally clear (to us) if the plant has started or not. No one knows what's going on," said Saeed, 22, a college student from Heleylah who, like other Iranians interviewed, did not want his last name used so he could speak freely.</p><span id="midArticle_8"></span><p>The Bushehr plant has brought some good to the people of Heleylah, Saeed said. Locals can find work as janitors, cooks and other service workers at the plant, and they have access to the hospital built on site.</p><span id="midArticle_9"></span><p>But many residents feel stuck, said Hassan, 62, who was raised in Heleylah and now lives in the city of Bushehr.</p><span id="midArticle_10"></span><p>The government has drawn up plans to move residents, but compensation has still not been agreed.</p><span id="midArticle_11"></span><p>"The villagers want to go to a place where they won't have trouble finding work, and near the center of the province," he said. "But because there is no appropriate place for them to go, and the government hasn't provided enough money for them to move, people are in limbo."</p><span id="midArticle_12"></span><p>Saeed said although many in Heleylah would like to leave the area, only about 10 percent have done so.</p><span id="midArticle_13"></span><p>"Those who could afford to leave, have left."</p><span id="midArticle_14"></span><p>(Additional reporting by Fredrik Dahl in Vienna and Steve Gutterman in Moscow;
