Darkhovain nuclear power plant in context
No other nuclear site with an exact position in this dataset lies within 300 km.
How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
| Location | Bushehr suburb village, Khuzestan, Iran |
|---|---|
| Coordinates | 30.7076, 48.3641 |
| Elevation | about 5 mabove sea level |
| Setting | About 60 km from the sea |
| Region | Southern Asia |
| Units by status | Pre-construction: 1 Cancelled: 1 |
Elevation is read at the listed coordinates from a 30 m terrain model (SRTM 30 m). Two independent models differ by a median of 6 m across our plants and by up to about 40 m on steep or coastal ground, and a point on a shoreline can read as sea level. Distance to the water is measured to a generalised 1:10 million coastline, so a few kilometres or less is not resolved. This is context, not a design-basis or flood-risk figure.
