Russia is to supply a Chinese nuclear reactor with fuel starting in August, the head of the Russian atomic energy agency said Wednesday.

Alexander Rumiantsev told the Itar-Tass news agency the fuel, which is already in China, will be delivered to the Tianwan power plant, a Russian-built facility in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu, next month.

Work on the plant was now going ahead on schedule, he said, after a delay in activating the reactor, which should have become operational in 2004.

Rumiantsev added that the plant should enter service this October.

Russia began the project in October 1999.
