- Russia's state nuclear company Rosatom plans to send personnel back to Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant starting in mid-July.
- Nearly 200 Rosatom employees were evacuated from the facility in April following attacks during the Iran conflict.
Russia's state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, is preparing to return personnel to Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant beginning in mid-July, according to Russia's Interfax news agency.
The move marks a partial resumption of work at the site after security concerns prompted the evacuation of Russian staff earlier this year.
Rosatom is overseeing the construction of two additional reactor units at the Bushehr nuclear power plant, Iran's only operational nuclear energy facility.
The plant came under multiple attacks during the conflict that followed the United States and 'Israel's joint strikes on Iran in late February.
Nearly 200 Rosatom employees were evacuated from the Bushehr site in April as fighting continued and concerns grew over the safety of foreign personnel.
The planned return suggests Moscow considers conditions sufficiently stable to resume work on the expansion project, although the security situation in the region remains closely monitored.
