Iran-Life And Fun Under The Shadow Of Nuclear Power Plant
A view of the northern coast of the Persian Gulf is seen in Iran's first-ever nuclear seaport city of Bushehr in Bushehr province, 1090km (677 miles) south of Tehran, Iran, 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 Islamic Revolution in 1979 halted the construction, and Germany refused to continue work due to political sanctions. After years of delay, the Islamic Republic of Iran reached an agreement with Russia in 2004 to complete the project. Finally, after 27 years from the start of construction, the Bushehr nuclear power plant became fully operational and connected to the national electricity grid in 2011, making it Iran's first and only active nuclear power plant.
