Ilna: Russia, in continuation of nuclear cooperation with Iran, announced its plan to increase the number of its experts at the Bushehr nuclear power plant to 200 people. This action is carried out simultaneously with the emphasis of Moscow and Tehran on the completion, maintenance and development of this power plant.

Alexey Likhachev, CEO of the state-owned company Rosatom of Russia, announced that the number of experts of this company will increase to 200 people at the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Alexey Likhachev stated that during the talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian officials, the importance of completing, maintaining and providing technical services to the Bushehr nuclear power plant was emphasized.

He added that in addition to the active forces in the construction department, a group of technical experts are also present in the power plant who supervise the operation of its first unit.

Referring to the performance of this unit, Likhachev said that Bushehr power plant, as a reliable source of electricity supply, has performed successfully and has even produced more than its nominal capacity.

He also pointed out the technical complexities of the construction of this power plant and said that its construction was first started by German experts, but Russian nuclear experts completed the project and adapted Russian equipment to the existing structures and infrastructure.

The CEO of Rosatom announced earlier that 135 employees of this company have returned to Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Bushehr nuclear power plant, as the first civilian nuclear power plant in the Middle East, is located on the coast of the Persian Gulf. The construction of this power plant began in the 1970s by German companies, including Siemens, but after a decades-long hiatus, Rosatom took over the responsibility for its completion.

Currently, the first unit of the power plant provides the electricity needed by Iran's national grid, and the cooperation between Tehran and Moscow continues for the development of this power plant and the construction of new units.
