Russian-built nuclear power plant at Bushehr wasn't affected by the country's
powerful earthquake Tuesday and continues its operations as normal, a spokesman
for the Russian state nuclear corporation said.
The Bushehr nuclear power plant on the Gulf is located some 950 kilometers west
of Khash, a town near the epicenter of what
Iran
said
was a 7.5 magnitude quake.
"A representative at the site said they did not even feel the
tremors," Rosatom spokesman Sergei Novikov told AFP.
"The epicenter was far away from Bushehr."
Built by
Russia
despite initial protests from
Israel
and
the
United States
,
Bushehr began adding electricity to the Iranian power grid in 2011.
