Iran Earthquake Near Nuclear Plant 4/9/2012

A moderately powerful earthquake has struck near Iran's Bushehr nuclear plant. The 6.2 quake has reportedly killed three people and comes as Iran declares itself a nuclear power.

The Russian contractor which built the Bushehr plant says it has not been affected by the earthquake, says Russian news agency Interfax.

Staff at the complex felt the jolts but continue to work as usual, while radiation levels have not changed, an unnamed Atomstroyexport official told Interfax.
