    Default Russian Scientists for Iran reactor killed

    The experts - who included lead designers Sergei Rizhov, Gennadi Benyok, Nicolai Tronov and Russia's top nuclear technological experts, Andrei Tropinov - worked at Bushehr after the contract for the plant's construction passed from the German Siemens company to Russian hands.

    The five were employed at the Hydropress factory, a member of Russia's state nuclear corporation, and one of the main companies to contract for the Bushehr construction.

    The sources said that the death of the scientists is a great blow to the Russian nuclear industry.

    The experts were tasked with completing construction of the plant and ensuring that it would be able to survive an earthquake.

    According to the sources, although Iranian nuclear scientists have in the past been involved in unexplained accidents and plane crashes, there is no official suspicion of foul play. Investigators are probing human error and technical malfunction as the causes of the crash.

    Here's a problem aspect with these deaths.

    The exact specific small group that could come forward and conclusively refute any claims that the plant can be used for conversion into weapons grade products...those scientists and engineers...have been killed.


    It appears as if ..maybe...they've gone 'preemptive' on this one.
