Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom has said that the first six employees of Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant have begun returning to the plant, Russia’s state-owned RIA outlet says, citing its CEO Alexei Likhachev.
Rosatom, which is building two new units at Bushehr, evacuated hundreds of staff after the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28.
