Iran: Removal of Fuel Rods from Bushehr Reactor Unrelated to Stuxnet Virus – MEMRI (blog)
Mahmoud Reza Sajadi, Iran's ambassador to Russia, denied claims that the removal of the fuel rods from Iran's nuclear reactor in Bushehr was related to the Stuxnet computer virus, and said that the rods had been removed according to a request from Moscow and in coordination with it, as part of the final testing of the reactor's functioning.
The pro-Ahmadinejad website Raja News claimed that the procedure was due to technical alterations made by the Russian company responsible for the reactor's operation.
