		</div><p>Iran’s sole nuclear power plant is back online following an emergency shutdown two weeks ago, state TV reported.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Mr Mashahdi did not elaborate but last week, Iran’s nuclear department said engineers were working to repair the plant’s broken generator.</p>
<p>Authorities earlier this year had warned of Bushehr’s possible closure because of US sanctions barring Iran from procuring equipment for repairs.</p>
<p>Bushehr is fuelled by uranium produced in Russia, not Iran, and is monitored by the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency.</p>

<p>The IAEA acknowledged being aware of reports about the plant, but declined to comment.</p>
<p>Construction on Bushehr, on the coast of the northern reaches of the Persian Gulf, began under Iran’s shah in the mid-1970s.</p>
<p>After the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the plant was repeatedly targeted in the Iran-Iraq war.</p>
<p>Russia later completed construction of the facility.</p>
<p>The 1,000-megawatt plant feeds the grid with enough energy for a tiny part of Iran’s nationwide 64,000-megawatt consumption.</p>
