Iran-Daily Life In Iran’s First Ever Nuclear Seaport City Of Bushehr
A young girl is standing at a bazaar and looking on in Bushehr, Iran, on April 28, 2024. This city is notable for being Iran's first nuclear seaport on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, located 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran. The Bushehr nuclear power plant's history dates back to 1975 when Iran contracted the German company Siemens for its construction to provide electricity and diversify energy resources. The project was interrupted by the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and subsequent political sanctions led Germany to cease its involvement. After a prolonged delay, Iran and Russia reached an agreement in 2004 to complete the power plant. Eventually, in 2011, 27 years after construction began, the Bushehr nuclear power plant was fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid, marking it as Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
