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

An Iranian woman is standing in water on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr, Iran's first nuclear seaport city, located 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, on April 28, 2024. Initially contracted with the German company Siemens in 1975 to provide electricity and diversify energy resources, the Bushehr nuclear power plant's construction was interrupted by the Islamic Revolution in 1979, leading to a halt and Germany's refusal to continue due to political sanctions. After a prolonged delay, Iran reached an agreement with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. The Bushehr nuclear power plant finally became operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, marking it as Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant after 27 years of construction.
