Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant

An Iranian family is sitting on a beach in Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear seaport city, located in Bushehr province on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, on April 28, 2024. In 1975, Iran signed a contract with the German company Siemens to construct the Bushehr nuclear power plant with the aim of providing electricity and diversifying energy resources. However, the construction was halted due to the Islamic Revolution in 1979, and Germany refused to continue work because of political sanctions. After years of delay, Iran reached an agreement with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. Finally, 27 years after construction began, the Bushehr nuclear power plant became fully operational and was connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, making it Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
