History and Background. Under a treaty between Iran and West Germany, the turnkey contract for the construction, installation, and delivery of two 1293 MW pressurized water reactors (PWR) was signed between the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and German Kraftwerk Union (KWU) in 1975. The German company was obliged to supply the bushehr NPP’s fuel for the next 10 years within the framework of a separate contract. Additionally, in order to provide fresh water for the region by using the plant's steam power, two desalination units with a capacity of two hundred thousand (200,000) m3 per day were predicted under a contract with a Japanese company. Bushehr NPP site is located in the northern part of the Persian Gulf Coast. Till 1978, KWU Company conducted the operations of design, construction, and equipment supply of the project based on the contents of the concluded contract.
