IRAN PLANS ATOMIC REACTOR IN RESTIVE OIL STATE
Khuzestan is home to the biggest oilfields of the world's fourth biggest crude producer. The province is also home to most of Iran's Arab minority.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's Cabinet on Sunday decided to build a new nuclear power station in the restive southwestern oil province of Khuzestan, state television said.

"The Cabinet in its meeting this afternoon agreed to construct an atomic power station in Khuzestan using local technology," a state television report said.



The report gave no indication of when Iran would start work on this reactor.

Khuzestan is home to the biggest oilfields of the world's fourth biggest crude producer. The province is also home to most of Iran's Arab minority who complain of discrimination from non-Arab Iranians.



Iran's Arab south has simmered with ethnic unrest since April, when five people died in anti-government protests.



These were sparked by rumors that the government was considering re-locating more non-Arabs to Khuzestan to water down Arab influence there.
