The chief of Russia’s state nuclear corporation said Monday it was pulling nearly all of its remaining personnel from Iran’s Russia-built nuclear power plant.
Rosatom chief Alexei Likhachev said 108 workers were leaving the power plant in Bushehr, and only 20 will stay behind to keep watch of the equipment. Likhachev said Russia has coordinated the evacuation with Iranian authorities.
Since the start of the war, Russia has repeatedly voiced concern about projectiles hitting the territory of the plant, some of them landing near its nuclear reactor.
