The final wave of evacuation of Russian personnel is being prepared at the Iranian Bushehr nuclear power plant. This, according to Vesti, was stated by the head of Rosatom, Alexei Likhachev.

After its completion, only volunteers of no more than 50 people will remain at the station.

The head of Rosatom explained:

"It seems to me that somewhere up to 50 people will be able to provide this pause and ensure the operability of construction equipment and the vital activity of the construction town, household facilities.

We're not leaving the station at all. There will be volunteers there, including guys from our security unit.

Such work means that nuclear facilities cannot be completely ignored."
