"The temporary shutdown of the Bushehr nuclear power plant was due to technical issues. This problem is almost solved and the power plant will enter the circuit within the next two or three days," Xinhua news agency quoted Salehi as saying on Saturday.
"The current fuel of Bushehr power plant will run out in the next two or three months, and we will load the new fuel," he said.
