Russian state corporation Rosatom is preparing an emergency evacuation of more than 600 of its specialists from the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant in Iran. The cause is an escalation of hostilities, including explosions near the facility on March 3, which pose a direct threat to nuclear safety. The situation is complicated by the loss of communication with Iranian nuclear industry leadership. Evacuation plans for personnel depend on the ability to find temporary lulls in the attacks. This incident represents a serious crisis in the international nuclear energy sector, related to the safety of critical infrastructure and personnel in a military conflict zone.
