Iran’s sole nuclear power plant is back online following an emergency shutdown two weeks ago, state media 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.

The main objective of the Department is to maintain and further develop an effective and efficient verification system in order to draw independent, impartial and timely safeguards conclusions, thus providing credible assurances to the international community that States are in compliance with their safeguards obligations. Safeguards activities are undertaken within a dynamic and technically complex environment including advanced nuclear fuel cycle facilities and complemented by the political and cultural diversity of the countries.
