Russian media reports that the construction of new units at Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is still ongoing.

According to Russian media on the 9th, the CEO of Rosatom, Alexey Likhachev, stated that the construction of the main and auxiliary buildings of Units 2 and 3 at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran is still ongoing. In an interview the same day, Likhachev mentioned that Rosatom has begun to send back the experts who were evacuated from Iran to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant. The first group of five engineering technicians has already arrived, bringing the total number of Russian experts at the plant to 25. A second group of experts, numbering in the dozens, will be dispatched within the next two weeks. Likhachev expects that if everything goes smoothly, the number of Russian experts working at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant could reach 100 this autumn. He also emphasized, The prerequisite for all of this is that the U.S. and Iran can reach a final agreement to stop military confrontations and that conflicts do not escalate further. The Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is located outside the city of Bushehr in southern Iran and is the only operational nuclear power plant in the country, built along the coast of the Persian Gulf.
