The Islamic Republic of Iran has been under intense international scrutiny for its nuclear program. While most of the attention has been on uranium enrichment, which could lead to nuclear weapons, Iran is also becoming a nuclear power generator.
In this five-part series, VOA's Jeffrey Young starts with a look at the most serious nuclear power accidents in history. Then, the safety of design of Iran's Bushehr power plant is examined, followed by a look at the training being provided to Bushehr's operators. The fourth segment looks at whether Bushehr is a factor in nuclear proliferation concerns, while the final segment focuses on other Iranian facilities many experts are concerned could be used for nuclear weapons production.
