Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
An Iranian man is swimming along 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. The Bushehr nuclear power plant, initially contracted with the German company Siemens in 1975 to provide electricity and diversify energy resources, faced construction delays due to the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and subsequent political sanctions that led Germany to halt its involvement. 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.
