TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s lone nuclear power facility has reopened after an emergency shutdown two weeks ago, according to official television.
Mashahdi did not go into detail, but Iran’s nuclear ministry stated last week that experts were trying to repair the plant’s damaged generator.
The International Atomic Energy Agency monitors Bushehr, which is powered by uranium generated in Russia rather than Iran. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed receiving reports concerning the project but declined to comment.
The 1,000-megawatt plant provides enough electricity to feed the grid for a small portion of Iran’s 64,000-megawatt usage.
