YEREVAN, March 6. /TASS/. Rosatom is discussing options of building new small-capacity or high-capacity nuclear power plants with Iran, CEO of the Russian state corporation Alexey Likhachev told reporters.

"Eighty people are already working directly on construction of two units, the second and the third one, of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, and we will continue scaling up the headcount to the target one. The construction project is recovering, the construction project starts taking new and new forces. Certainly, final peace is yet to come but we assume we are moving towards the large-scale development of the construction project," he said.
