Despite the smiles at last week's summit, George Bush is unhappy that Russia has supplied Iran with reactors for a huge nuclear power complex, shown above in a January satellite photo. Experts say the reactors cannot produce weapons-grade plutonium but they will certainly improve Iran's nuclear know-how. The site, which has docks on the Persian Gulf (1), has one reactor dome completed (2) and a second rising (3), but pipes (4) for the cooling pond remain unattached. The complex is likely to come online in late 2003.
