Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
A view of a wharf on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear seaport city, located in Bushehr province, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, on April 28, 2024. Iran is continuing to utilize the Bushehr nuclear power plant, which became fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, after overcoming numerous delays and challenges, including the halting of construction following the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and subsequent political sanctions that led Germany to cease work. An agreement with Russia in 2004 allowed for the completion of the project, making it Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
