Russian ministry denies secret nuclear deals with Iran
- The International Atomic Energy Agency [IAEA] believes that Russia, China and Pakistan were probably supplying Iran with equipment for enriching uranium, according to an urgent report issued by the AP news agency.
The AP news agency refers to an anonymous diplomatic source. Nikolay Shingarev, the head of the Russian Atomic Energy Ministry's information policy department said at present, cooperation is confined exclusively to the construction of the No1 generating set at the Bushehr nuclear power station.
"In principle, contracts on the delivery of electronic equipment, including laser equipment, were concluded between Iranian and Russian enterprises at the end of the 1990s for research purposes," he added.
"Naturally, it was not intended for any industrial usage. There was such a contract, but this work was suspended and not all equipment was eventually delivered to Iran. Russia and Iran did not implement any other cooperation projects, either for research or technological purposes, that would have anything to do with uranium enrichment," Shingarev said.

Tesla updates Supercharger billing to add cost of electricity use for other than charging
LOS ANGELES - Tesla has updated its Supercharger billing policy to add the cost of electricity use for things other than charging, like HVAC, battery thermal management, etc, while charging at a Supercharger station.
For a long time, Tesla’s Superchargers were free to use, or rather the use was included in the price of its vehicles. But the automaker has been moving to a pay-to-use model over the last two years in order to finance the growth of the charging network.
Not charging owners for the electricity enabled Tesla to wait on developing a payment system for its Supercharger network.
