Tehran-Sana
A spokesman for the electricity industry in Iran, Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, announced that the Bushehr nuclear plant in the south of the country has resumed its activity.
Rajabi Mashhadi said in a statement today that “the station’s production of electricity stopped for several days as a result of a technical defect in it, and it returned to work and production after repairing the defect,” noting that the Bushehr station stopped working and producing electricity for the purposes of maintenance work, as well as the restrictions that occurred in it.
He pointed out that with the plant's return to production, it will supply the country with 1,000 megawatts of electricity.
Last March, Iran indicated that the station could stop operating due to the inability to purchase spare parts and equipment for it from abroad due to banking sanctions imposed by Washington on Tehran in 2018.
