TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s sole nuclear power plant is back online following an emergency shutdown two weeks ago, state TV reported Saturday.
The report quoted Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi, spokesperson for the country’s energy ministry, as saying the Bushehr plant “returned to the production of energy” after the completion of needed maintenance.
Mashhadi did not elaborate but last week, Iran’s nuclear department said engineers were working to repair the plant’s broken generator.
Also on Saturday, Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s representative to the IAEA said that Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Safeguards of the IAEA, Massimo Aparo, will visit Iran in coming days, the official IRNA news agency reported.
