In a statement, the Public Relations Office of the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant emphasized that the 1,000-megawatt plant is fully operational and continues to contribute to Iran's national electricity grid.
The statement highlighted that the plant is adhering to the highest international safety standards, ensuring the secure generation of electricity.
"This colossal national facility is operating safely and is currently feeding power into the national electricity grid system according to the maximum international standards," the statement read.
Since becoming operational 12 years ago, the Bushehr plant has produced more than 78 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, significantly reducing the emission of seven million tons of polluting and greenhouse gases annually.
The plant’s continued operation has played a vital role in helping Iran meet its domestic energy needs while reducing its environmental footprint.
However, areas surrounding the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant have been targeted by aerial and missile attacks by US and Israeli forces on several occasions.
The latest of these occurred on Saturday morning, when a projectile struck an area near Unit 1 of the plant. Despite the attacks, the plant's operations remain unaffected.
