Iran Backs Nuke Plans Despite Earthquake Risks
(AP) George Jahn - The leaders of earthquake-prone Iran have rejected concerns by the country's top scientists about a plan to build a national nuclear reactor network, according to an official from a member nation of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The official said Tuesday the report by Iranian scientists warns that "data collected since the year 2000 shows the incontrovertible risks of establishing nuclear sites in the proximity of fault lines" in Khuzestan and 19 other Iranian provinces.
