Russia Steadily Increasing Workforce at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Plant, Rosatom Says
Russia's state nuclear corporation says it is gradually expanding staffing levels at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, describing the situation there as calm.
Russia's state nuclear energy corporation, Rosatom, says it is gradually increasing its workforce at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, according to a report from Mehr News Agency in Tehran published Wednesday.
The company described the current situation at the facility as calm, without providing further detail on the specific number of personnel involved or the timeline for the workforce expansion.
Long-standing cooperation
Bushehr, located in southern Iran, has long been a centerpiece of nuclear cooperation between Iran and Russia, with Rosatom playing a central role in the plant's construction and ongoing operation. The plant is Iran's only operational nuclear power facility.
Rosatom's statement on staffing comes amid continued international attention on Iran's nuclear program and the broader role Russian expertise and personnel play in maintaining the country's nuclear energy infrastructure.
No additional details were disclosed regarding the reasons behind the gradual workforce increase or whether it relates to planned maintenance, expansion, or other operational needs at the site.
