Bushehr nuclear plant being reloaded
TEHRAN, April 10 (MNA) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi during a joint press conference with Uruguayan Foreign Minister Luis Leonardo Almagro Lemes in Tehran on Saturday, also confirmed the reports that the Bushehr nuclear power plant is being loaded with nuclear fuel again.
“The reloading of fuel into the core of the reactor started on April 8,” Salehi stated.
Iran had to unload fuel due to safety concerns that arose in February. Russia said a breakdown of one of the reactor’s cooling pumps necessitated the removal of 163 fuel rods from its core.
Salehi added that the fuel was unloaded from the Bushehr nuclear power plant to ensure the safety of the reactor
