DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's first nuclear power plant at Bushehr is expected to shut down in the next few days for an annual refuelling outage, the IRNA news agency reported on Tuesday.
Built near the Gulf coast city of Bushehr, the plant had been scheduled to shut in mid January. But the outage was delayed because cold weather meant there was not enough gas available for other power plants to compensate for the loss of nuclear output, a spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization told the state news agency IRNA.
