Iran’s sole nuclear power plant is back online following an emergency shutdown two weeks ago, state TV reported.

The report quoted Mostafa Rajabi Mashahdi, a spokesman for the country’s energy ministry, as saying the Bushehr plant “returned to production energy” after the completion of needed maintenance.
