The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant in Iran 1,200 kilometres south of Tehran, between the fishing villages of Halileh and Bandargeh along the Persian Gulf. Construction of the plant was started in 1975 by German companies, but the work was stopped in 1979 after the Islamic revolution of Iran.
The head of Russia’s state-owned atomic energy corporation Rosatom says the company is in talks with Iran to construct another nuclear power plant in the country. On the ongoing construction at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, he said that Rosatom is working very actively on the project for the plant's second and third reactor units.
