BUENOS AIRES, April 14 | Wed Apr 14, 2010 5:27pm EDT

BUENOS AIRES, April 14 (Reuters) - A reactor being built by Russia at Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant is scheduled to open in August, the head of Russia's state nuclear corporation said on Wednesday.

"The launch is scheduled for August. We're on schedule," Sergei Kiriyenko told reporters in Argentina during a visit. "Bushehr doesn't threaten the regime of nonproliferation in any way. No one has any concerns about Bushehr."

We are making this announcement today to be sure to make your president look foolish. We do this every chance we get. We will make many toasts with vodka tonight and delight at how much we make him look like fool. It is great sport.
