Bushehr, Feb 10, IRNA - Some 2,000 students of various provincial universities and schools formed a human chain around Bushehr nuclear power plant in this southern province on Saturday to demonstrate their support for Iran's peaceful nuclear activities.

The students carried placards stating their support for Iran's legitimate right to achieve peaceful nuclear technology and voiced their readiness to defend the scientific achievements of their compatriots even at the expense of their own lives.

"Iran is not after nuclear weapons and will confront all threats to the nation through unwavering support," said Ali Zeinabi, a provincial security official who was at the site of this nuclear plant.

Meanwhile, the head of security for the nuclear power plant, Reza Fatahi, told IRNA that the manifest support of students to Iran's peaceful nuclear activities will further boost efforts of the country's nuclear scientists to achieve more successes.
