Subject: Request for information re: Bushehr Design Features, Chernobyl, and Earthquakes

I would be interested to learn if any JRL readers have information shedding light on suggestions that the Iranian nuclear plant at Bushehr now has design features, including control panels, similar or identical to those at Chernobyl.

I also would be interested to learn about insights into engineering challenges confronted in Iran with respect to earthquakes, a problem apparently confronted by Iranian nuclear contractors since the time of the Shah.
