This is the first time Iran has reported an emergency shutdown of the plant in the southern port city of Bushehr.

The plant went online in 2011 with help from Russia.

Iran is required to send spent fuel rods from the reactor back to Russia as a nuclear nonproliferation measure.

Tavanir released a statement stating that the nuclear plant was being repaired. The company did not offer any further details but confirmed the repair work would take until Friday.
