Russia’s state-run nuclear company Rosatom plans to return its staff to the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran in the coming weeks, weeks after a ceasefire was announced to halt the US-Israeli aggression against the country. Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachev said on Tuesday that the company is confident it can execute a plan in the coming weeks for the return of Russian staff to the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Speaking to reporters in Moscow, Likhachev said that some 20 experienced Rosatom staff are still working at the Bushehr plant despite the possibility of a resumption of US-Israeli aggression against Iran. His remarks were carried by the state-run news agency RIA.
