MOSCOW – Russia’s nuclear energy agency removed another 163 workers from Iran’s Bushehr nuclear facility on Wednesday, according to reports from Moscow-based media.
The head of Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, Alexei Likhachev, indicated that approximately 300 company employees are still working at the Bushehr site, though additional departures are planned.
The Russian government originally constructed the nuclear facility at Bushehr, and Rosatom has been working on expanding the site with new reactor units. However, construction activities have been halted since military conflicts involving the United States and Israel began with Iran last month.
