Vladimir Putin was today forced to order an evacuation of a nuclear power plant over fears of a "catastrophoe", reports say. Putin ordered the evacuation of Russians from the Bushehr nuclear power plant in Iran. Hundreds of Russian construction staff are building two new reactors at the power plant - but work has been halted after “explosions” were audible near the facility. Rosatom is poised to attempt a second removal of its citizens “soon”, evacuating “family members and some staff”, said
