Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
The Bushehr nuclear power plant is seen in a coastal village on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr province, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, Iran, on April 29, 2024. Initially contracted with the German company Siemens in 1975 to provide electricity and diversify energy resources, the construction was halted due to the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and subsequent political sanctions led Germany to cease work. After a long delay, Iran reached an agreement with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant, was fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, 27 years after construction began.
