Overview
- Rosatom said a last major group will leave the Bushehr site, with more than 200 staff set to depart and about 50 volunteers staying to keep essential functions running.
- IAEA reporting counted at least three strikes near the facility in March, including one projectile that hit a structure about 350 meters from the reactors.
- Iran’s atomic agency and Rosatom said the plant itself was not damaged despite the near misses documented around the site.
- Rosatom paused construction of new Units 2 and 3, interrupting expansion plans as the conflict disrupts work and staffing.
- Bushehr is Iran’s only operating nuclear power plant, holding about 72 metric tons of fuel and 210 metric tons of spent fuel, which is why the UN nuclear watchdog urged maximum restraint.
