The only nuclear power plant in Iran has been temporarily shut down, state TV reported on Sunday. It's the first time Iran has reported an emergency closure at the Bushehr nuclear power plant. An official with Iran's state electric company Tavanir told a state TV talk show that the plant was shut down on Saturday and that the closure will last "for three to four days."
He cautioned that power outages could result as a result of the shutdown. Officials did not immediately elaborate on the nature of the technical repairs, nor what prompted the closure. Construction on the nuclear plant, located in the southern port city of Bushehr, began in the 1970s. It was later completed with the help of Russia and the plant went online in 2011.
