ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Bahrain has been pressing for the Gulf Cooperation
Council to establish a nuclear safety group to counter the prospect of a
reactor disaster in neighboring Iran.
Officials said Bahrain, the GCC state closest to Iran, has been pressing
the other five Gulf Arab members, to take measures to respond to any nuclear
reactor accident in Iran. They said the most likely prospect was a major
earthquake that could damage Iran's 1,000 megawatt reactor at Bushehr,
struck by two major tremors in April.
