As the Russian nuclear minister Alexander Rumyantsev said in November in an exclusive interview to Itar-Tass, Iranian specialists simply have no time to prepare this document, as they are focused on providing IAEA with information about their nuclear programs. Busher NPP will not need fuel soon, the shipment will not start before the next year, so we have three months minimum to prepare the agreement the minister said. The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme Council Hasan Rouhani confirmed Irans consent to sign an agreement about returning spent nuclear fuel back to Russia as it is the main condition of the Russias fresh nuclear fuel deliveries. The text of the agreement was drafted during the ministers visit to Tehran back in December 2002.

Some reports indicated that Minatom was ready to go as far as buying the spent fuel back from Iran.
