Voice of America: “Russian and Iranian engineers have begun loading fuel into Iran’s first nuclear power plant. The plant is located in the southern city of Bushehr and both Russian and Iranian leaders insist Iran’s nuclear program is for peaceful purposes though many in the international community are suspicious. In an irreversible step, Iran and Russia began putting nuclear fuel into the reactor of Tehran’s first atomic power station. On Saturday, specialists from both countries loaded uranium packed fuel rods into the reactor. Russia helped build the facility.”

Gottemoeller led the American team during the negotiations, which concluded in March. Her deputy was Marcie Ries, another diplomat. The top two U.S. scientists were female. And helping to close the deal on the New START agreement was Ellen O. Tauscher, a State Department undersecretary and former congresswoman. The U.S. delegation reflected a little-noticed shift in the tough-guy world of national security. Twenty-five years after White House aide Donald Regan famously opined that women were “not going to understand throw-weights,” American females clearly get nuclear policy.”
