Bushehr NPP to Resume Operation

Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in the southern namesake city, which was temporarily closed for undergoing a technical overhaul and refueling will resume operation soon, the head of Iran Grid Management Company, an Energy Ministry subsidiary, said.
“Maintenance of the plant is expected to complete on Dec. 20, following which the facility will operate for 300 days to generate 7 billion kilowatt-hours of power before it is overhauled again,” Mostafa Rajabi Mashhadi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The plant was shut down for refueling for 80 days in October (when electricity demand is low), whereby the depleted fuel is replaced with new fuel to produce energy from nuclear fission reactions more efficiently.
