Kuwait Urges Iran to Ensure Nuclear Safety

Kuwait officials say they are concerned about the safety of an Iranian power plant that lies just across the waterway from this small Gulf country. Speaking at a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Sabah said a recent shutdown at the Bushehr nuclear plant showed that Iran must work with the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure the plant’s safety. Iran shut down the Russian-built Bushehr in October to limit any damage after stray bolts were found beneath its fuel cells. Iran says that Bushehr is a symbol of its peaceful nuclear ambitions, but the West charges that Iran has dozens of other sites where it is developing a nuclear weapon
