| Iran seeks bids for two new nuclear plants
Iran asked for bids to build two new nuclear power stations alongside a still unfinished facility in the south, despite increasing Western pressure over its atomic drive. "Iran is launching two tenders for the construction of two nuclear power stations of between 1000 and 1600 megawatts capacity in Bushehr," the director of nuclear energy production, Ahmad Fayaz Bakhsh, said. The southern city of Bushehr is where Iran's first nuclear power plant is being built by a Russian contractor. But its completion, due this year, has been repeatedly delayed. Mr Fayaz Bakhsh said Iran's atomic energy agency would hand over the tender offer documents today for publication with a closing date for bids set at August 8. "There are already contacts with Russian and European firms.
Louisville eclipses million-dollar milestone in surplus sales
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced that the city has "unloaded" more than a million dollars worth of surplus government vehicles, equipment and other items through online auctions. Metro Government sells obsolete and other surplus items through its website, LouisvilleKy.gov, and GovDeals.com, an online service similar to eBay. The $3,760 sale of a Case International 585 tractor to a bidder in Cookeville, Tenn., recently brought the total funds generated through the online auctions to more than $1 million. "The online auctions are a creative way this government is operating efficiently and effectively for our citizens," Abramson said. "We're unloading items that have outlived their useful life for government, and in doing so creating a revenue stream and reducing warehouse space." Abramson said the online auctions often generate more money than traditional auction-house auctions because items are up for bids around the clock and the online auctions allow more people - virtually from anywhere - to participate.
