Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
An Iranian flag is waving on a beach in Bushehr, Iran, on April 28, 2024. This city is home to Iran's first nuclear seaport in the Bushehr province, located on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran. The Bushehr nuclear power plant's construction began in 1975 when Iran signed a contract with the German company Siemens, aiming to provide electricity and diversify energy resources. However, the Islamic Revolution in 1979 caused the construction to halt, and Germany ceased work due to political sanctions. After a long delay, Iran reached an agreement with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. The Bushehr nuclear power plant became fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, marking it as Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
