Iran is planning to build two nuclear power plants in the southern province of Bushehr, says Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar�Salehi.�

Salehi made the announcement during a live IRIB television broadcast on Sunday night, adding that the new plants would cost around 10 billion dollars and around 15,000�technicians would be required to work on the projects�over the next three or four years�.

Salehi also said the agreement between Tehran and the International Atomic Energy Agency was not a�confidential�matter adding that further negotiations�must be carried out in connection to IAEA experts traveling to Iran for inspections as part of a nuclear conclusion between Tehran and the global powers.

Carrying out the�inspections�is,�however,�a �matter of secrecy�, Salehi noted, adding, the agency would announce the�outcome of the inspections�on December 15.

In regard to the redesigning of the Arak nuclear reactor and other projects, Salehi said talks were being held�with China.

�Our experts have traveled to China a few times and Chinese experts�have traveled to our country a few times. In Vienna, we talked with the Americans and the Chinese and we agreed on holding a trilateral meeting between Tehran, Washington, and Beijing�in China,� he was quoted as saying by IRNA.

Iran and the P5+1 � the US, Britain, Russia,�China,�France,�and Germany � �finally succeeded in finalizing the text of an agreement, dubbed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in�Vienna on July 14 after 18 days of intense talks over the matter.

Under the JCPOA, restrictions�will be put on Iran�s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans�against the Islamic Republic.
