MOSCOW — Russia expects to win a contract for the construction of nuclear reactors in Iran.

Officials said the Kremlin was leading efforts to win a project to construct up to five nuclear energy reactors in Iran. They said the facilities would have the capacity to generate up to 1,000 megawatts of electricity each.

"We are discussing these [new plants] with our Iranian partners," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. "We are practically discussing this now."

On June 10, Lavrov said the discussions would not be affected by sanctions on Iran approved by the United Nations Security Council on June 9, Middle East Newsline reported. The minister did not say when Russia could sign a contract for additional Iranian nuclear reactors.

Officials said Russia's state-owned Atomstroyexport would complete its first nuclear energy reactor in Iran by September 2010. They said Atomstroyexport has completed virtually all of the tests for the 1,000 megawatt reactor in the Iranian port city of Bushehr.
