Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
Iranian Press photographer Rouzbeh Fouladi is photographing a scaled model of the Persian Gulf at a maritime museum in Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear seaport city, located 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, on April 28, 2024. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, initially contracted with the German company Siemens in 1975 to diversify energy resources, faced construction halts due to the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and subsequent political sanctions. After a long delay, Iran partnered with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. The power plant became operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, marking it as Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant. (Photo by Morteza Nikoubazl/NurPhoto)
